Fighting words! The most beautiful paint job on a a bike is the original Orange Rambouillet. It was a unique and gorgeous shade of orange with a cream head tube. I also like the paint on the Atlantis, it is good looking, it has been the only stock color of the bike since it went into production and when you see the color you know exactly what bike it is. A true classic. The Atlantis is a very stout touring bike although it was not designed to be an off road touring bike. Mine is a 61cm frame and I would not hesitate to loaded tour on dirt roads and single track with it. I don't know how the bottom bracket height compares to the Hunqapillar but if one is higher then the other then it may be better for more technical terrain. The other issue is if the bike will get rough use why not go with the lower cost bike since you will not feel quite as bad the first time it gets a good bash on the trail. You will be happy which ever way you go.

My opinion is a shallow one: I think the paint job on the Hunqapillar is the most beautiful combo Rivendell has produced. Get the pretty one, save 500 bucks.
