Hi Joe,
I'm glad that my Hunqapillar inspired you to swing by Riv HQ for more
in-depth ogling. LOL
I agree with Jim- That Rivendell would provide those fork crown rack
attachment points on the Hunq, speaks to the great versatility that Riv
wants the Hunq to avail its owner. Seems quite a few
Thanks, James!
Yeah, I know that I am indeed lucky to have a wife with an appreciative eye
for these details. My wife actually had her eye on the Hunqapillar, way
before I ever test rode any of their bikes. But, she already got a Betty
Foy mixte and a Quick Beam ss, and loves both of them...a
Just in case folks are wondering about them, I have been mirroring most of

then in the queue.)

The bike was just sold and picked up, thanks for all the inquiries.

In my size they're both 26-inch wheel bikes, and my favorite Rivs. I'd take
the Hunqapillar simply because I love the color. The price drop is nice,
too, but wouldn't be the decider.

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.

I find that a very tough choice myself. Why not both? :-)
Really I dont think you can go wrong with either. That Hunq sure is pretty,
stunningly so. The Atlantis is the bike that drew me to Rivendell in the

My 46cm Noodles are my first drop bars, installed with Pauls cross top

on the hoods too.

Here's a question maybe some of you Hunq owners can answer-- what is the

Seriously. I can easily imagine a point where I thou

You have answered you own question so yes, get the 'Hunqua'...I
think any sensible ride could be done on the 'Hunk' and will probably
last a lifetime or more.

Very nice Rob. I agree with you about the Roadeo. I am riding mine more
and more on dirt roads and trails. One set of wheels with GB Cypres for
smooth and quick pavement, one with cx tires makes for an incredibly
versatile and responsive bike. What tires were you running there?

On Tue, Jul
I don't think this is a fair comparison The Roadeo seems like a much
better bike for the $$ to me. Nuthin' bad to say about the Cielo except
they are TIG welded. To me it's exciting that these kind of bikes are
getting out in the mainstream. I think any road bike that only takes 25mm

That's one awesome ride Rob. Everytime I drive down the 101 grade into SLO I

Hi Christian, arm-chair expert replying here, but if it's loaded touring
you'll be doing, get the Hunq. The Atlantis can of course do that, but I
