I'm curious how a Hunqapillar compares to the MB-1 and its contemporaries.
I've had a Trek 950 with Albatross bars since 2011, after following advice in the RR to Riv-ify a old MTB frame. I toyed with the idea of replacing the 950 with a Hunq several years ago, but it rides nicely. I purchased a Rosco Bubbe road instead. I'm glad I did. With horizontal dropouts and clearance for 700x50, the Bubbe is even more versatile, I think, than the Trek. Still, I've always enjoyed putting Riv parts on the 950 and I recently re-built it with Silver 2 thumbshifters, a Riv chainring guard and a Nitto HiRiser stem. I would've preferred the Wavie bar but it was sold out, so I found a similar Nitto riser bar. A little more backsweep would be nice, but I'm still getting used to it. I'm not a mountain biker, but my intention is to take it out on nearby beginner trails, and finally learn how to lift the front wheel over obstacles, lol.
