Hi,
Are the full specs available anywhere, particularly: theoretical TT
length, ST angle, HT angle, and chain stay length? What are the
differences between the Hunqapillar and the the too-long-in-the-top-
tube Bombadil? I'm interested in the largest size.
Thanks.

That would never work for me. Right now, the Hillborne has Tektro 720

Probably no big deal with a tiny, light bag but expect serious

priority, you'd do far better with one of these:

You can probably get the reach you need with a recessed brake bolt
from a standard road caliper, although the Sheldon nuts may be what
you would want with the fender.

I've only tried the older SKS's and they developed a kind of funky
