I don't get it why you don't get it. Step 0: Start with an Atlantis Step 1: The top tube slope doesn't look like a Hunqapillar. Make it more like a Hunqapillar with a sloping Top Tube Step 2: The tire clearances don't look like a Hunqapillar. Make it more like a Hunqapillar with wider tire clearances Step 3: Call it a "cross between Atlantis and Hunqapillar,"
What's not to get? It's true if you insist on wanting it to be based on a Hillborne you could go: Step 0: Start with a Hillborne Step 1: Ditch the sidepull brakes and replace them with cantilevers Step 2: Increase the Clearances Step 3: Call it a "Hillborne with greater clearances" Either way, it's the same bike. Neither description is misleading. On Monday, October 12, 2015 at 3:34:34 PM UTC-7, James Warren wrote: > > > "cross between Atlantis and Hunqapillar," > > I find myself wondering if that was a typo.
