Hunqapillar sporting Atlantis paint?

[dougP]

In the July edition of Adventure Cyclist, there's a ride report about doing the Great Divide route.  On page 23 is a photo of a bike I thought was an Atlantis, based on the paint scheme.  Something didn't look right about the lettering so I got out a magnifying glass.  The lettering is Hunqapillar.  Either way, it carried the rider down the Great Divide, with a good deal of gear strapped on.

Is it this one?

Sure looks like it.  There can't be many around.  In the photo it's buried in gear but same short head tube.  My wife has a 47 cm Atlantis that looks the same.  The author is Carolyne Whelan of Santa Fe, NM.  She rode 2,000 miles on the Great Divide route.

I also saw that photo in Adventure Cyclist. That bike looks like a standard, later model Hunqapillar. Mine is the exact same color. The smaller sizes don’t have diagatubes. I don’t think it’s a repainted Atlantis, or vice versa. Nice to see it featured, in any case.

I hadn't read the article before posting.  The author is the editor for Adventure Cyclist as well as the author of the article.  She mentions having traveling companions so the bike may belong to one of them.
