I owned a Homer between 2010 and 2013 or thereabouts. That was becoming my "serious" brevet bike, and I sold it to help do a full on no-holds-barred brevet bike build on a Rawland Stag (and that frameset has also moved along)
I have never owned a Hunqapillar. I did own an Appaloosa for a little while, and sold that because the 650B Hunqapillar at Riv HQ was so awesome. That slot in the stable was a knockabout camping bike that both me and my son can ride. This mountain mixte fills that slot, so I will not likely be buying a Hunqapillar anytime soon. Another way to put it is that this bike will be my "Manny bike". Anytime we go out with Manny, this bike will go. I also used to own a 700c Atlantis, and sold it to a neighbor who begged me to sell it to him. I was going to replace that with a 650b Atlantis, and likely still will, but since Grant has something new coming for the Atlantis, I'm waiting to see what that is.
