It certainly was meant to cover loaded touring, but was always viewed (as
any RBW bicycle is) as more versatile than that - the initial Atlantis
flyers show the variety of setups (and even feature non-drop bars when that
was very, very far from mainstream on bike setups.)

I don't follow, Ron. What are these shoes of which you speak? Some new
tech? Grin.

I don't "rip" through anything (without brain injury, I might, but I ride
fairly conservatively), but from what I've seen, I ride my fendered
Hunqapillar the way you ride your Niner -- riding everything the full

I'm not sure that it does--wasn't the Atlantis always meant as a loaded
tourer? The XO was more of an all 'rounder. I own an XO and it certainly
is not tourer, and I recall Grant writing about being rather alarmed by a
fellow touring with a "flexy" XO who stopped by Riv.

Or maybe the Bomba is just a 'premium Hunqa' ??? I know I often harp on
how Grant characterizes the Bomba as a mountain bike, but maybe I've
overlooked the true significance of the Bomba and Hunqa in mountain biking

Thank you, Jim. That's a great family history of the road side of the
family. I imagine, but do not know, the Bombadil and Hunqapillar came from
the Atlantis and perhaps go as far back as the Mountain shown in the
poster. I'd love to know the evolution that led to the Atlantis, Bombadil,
and Hu
Ha!
Indeed... the "other" is always "V-O"
