Thought I'd share some details with the group of my new 62 Hunqapillar.  I've been commuting with it for a few days now and it's all I hoped it would be.  Feels like sitting in a big oak Morris chair, definitely the most comfortable bike I've ridden. Pictures here:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/58723422@N02/sets/72157629818804774/  and some build details:

Beauty!  I loooove the Hunqapillar - it is a great smooth ride.  One thing about the 54 I just got - it has a nice long top tube (58.4cm).  Definitely built to be laid out if you set it up with drops or moustaches.  It feels similar in length to my 59cm Hilsen.  I believe the length is only 1.6 cm different between a 54 and 58.  I'm about 5'11" with longer legs, so the 54 feels plenty spacious for me.  For a smaller rider, a Bubar or Alba would be perfect.

Pics of my new 54cm.  Took it on the maiden rain commute today :)
