I had time during lunch to do a small write-up about my time on the
Hunquapillar prototype.

Fun bike!

Nice write up, and I'm lovin' the orange/gray combo. Can't quite make
out the tires - fill us in when you have a second.

Estebans article says 50mm Big Apples.

Great write up. I'm hoping my 54 will look that good.

How did I miss that? Guess I was mesmerized by the scenery, and the
bike!

Yea - those are fun tires! I wonder how the 60s would feel. Seems
like they'd fit.

Nice write-up! Those are the trails out my front door. I got to say,
the cows this year are more assertive than I've ever seen them. I've
had to nearly bump some with my front wheel to get them to moooove.

That's the first i've seen the hunqapillar with drops, it looks
awesome! What did you think of the sram brake levers?

Nice write-up Esteban. Now that I had convinced myself that I can do
without the Hunqua.... I see this beauty with drop bars and I'm back
in lala land about it again. I already have a buyer for my 29er...
hmmm. At least I should wait until the diagonal tube version shows up.

I thought the Hunq felt lighter than the 'Dil but Grant claims they're
the same. When I get one, it will be the Hunq 'cuz of the 700 wheels.

Yeah, I betcha' the frames are within ounces of each other.  A 58 Bomb vs. a 56 Hunq... can't be much diff.
