I don't usually contribute to this group. Most often just cruising the pages to pick up little bits of knowledge r/t parts, rides, s24o etc. Great place for it. Obviously a lot of experienced riders, not to mention a noticeable feeling of community in these pages. Do you need this hunqapillar build? I bought mine during the pre-order. Ordering from Rivendell was unlike any buying experience I've ever had, the bike fit beautifully and looked like a million bucks. But... The amount of money I had put into the frame and the build had me freaked out to ride it much; for the better part of a year. A couple months ago I had a bad wreck on my usual commuter. Not sure i could get off the ground bad. To get to the point, with a broken commuter but still needing to get to work (no car) and finding my fixed gear un-rideable as it caused excruciating pain in my hands, arms and back I rode the Hunqapillar. Even injured, the hunqapillar rode so nice, it almost drives itself. All healed up I haven't ridden anything else since. Ridden it everywhere. On my commute, groceries, fire trails, rugged off road. The hunqapillar rides everywhere, with load and without; in comfort. And that "Rivendell ride"? Not a fantasy, reality. This is my first riv. I stuck mostly to a "typical" Rivendell build. Noodles, tektro canti's, big apples, dyno hub, saddle bag and my old brooks. I have to agree with previous posts, build it up and ride it. It really is an exceptional bicycle.
