"cross between Atlantis and Hunqapillar,"

I find myself wondering if that was a typo. Because every other report on this coming bike has said it's a Hillborne with greater clearances, thereby bringing it in the Atlantis's direction.

So where they wrote, "cross between Atlantis and Hunqapillar," I wonder if they meant to write "cross between Atlantis and Hillborne," and someone just mixed up the H-names. It's something I would do when I'm super-busy.

But I do like that it continues the Rivendell tradition of splitting the difference between pre-existing models. The Hillborne is already a third derivative in that regard (where road versus mountain is your starting point.)

Road versus Mountain:           Let's go in between these norms:      Result: Atlantis

Let's go between Atlantis and Road:                                            Result: A. Homer Hilsen

Let's go between Atlantis and A. Homer Hilsen:                          Result: Hillborne

Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone has insider knowledge about the Joe Appaloosa geometry? The last Riv email described it as a cross between a Hunq and Atlantis, which sounds like my dream bike, but the recent Web Special proto-Appaloosas appeared to be geometrically identical to Sam H, the only obvious differences being larger tire clearances and canti posts. If it's truly somewhere between Hunq and Atlantis, I'm gonna start saving my pennies now. Any insights would be greatly appreciated, sounds like it will be a wonderful bike!

Cheers,
Matt in Tucson
