Hi, My Name is Marc and I am....
Yeah you know where I'm going with this. I bought a Hunq last year and
love it so much I wanted a lighter version of the same geometry for
skinnier tires. I pre-ordered a blue Hillborne also. The prospect of a
near 20% discount was what pushed me over the edge. I swear I can quit
whenever I want!
Welcome, it sounds like a similar build. I'm going to try the new Bosco
bars, but run it with 32mm tires and fenders (probably the cream longboards.
