I'm with you, Bill. But based on those other rumored sizes, it sure seems promising that a 56 or 57 might be in the works. I've complained so loud and for so long about that size being missing (I even had a pre-sale locked in when the model first came out, but backed out over concerns), that I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to put my money where my mouth is and buy one. Looks like I need to think about selling some bikes...
Brings up a question for you, specifically, though: As you'll remember helping me analyze, I felt like I had the exact same falling-in-between-sizes issue with the 55 & 58 Appaloosas. But in that case I think I'd have leaned toward the larger one, with the bike being slightly more road than trail oriented. How come you got the 55, and what do you think of the fit, now that you have it? Regarding the Hunqapillar, the increased clearance news is good to hear too! I suppose that if they didn't increase that, but DID lengthen the chainstays even more, it would start to have too much overlap with the Appaloosa. This keeps it unique and even more trail-ready. *One thing I really hope happens is longer fork legs!* I don't know if this is for sure the case with the current Hunquapillar (maybe Patrick can comment) but, on my 700c Clem which supposedly has a Hunquapillar fork, the axle-to-crown height is far and away the most limiting dimension in terms of what size tire I can fit. Especially with fenders. Width could probably accommodate a 2.8" tire, but the height just barely takes a 2.3.
