I had a hunqapillar, then I got a Sam hillborne with the intention of doing what you describe. 1 tourish and one fastish. Long story short, Sam never felt much faster than the hunq. It probably was, marginally, but it never felt sprightly. I sold the Sam first.
All that said, in my experience, a hillborne is about as close to a do-anything bike as I've ever ridden. It is equally a road bike as it is a dirt road tourer....but if you have a dirt road tourer, why buy something else that is half overlapping? I only have an Atlantis now. If I was to get a second bike, and it was going to be a riv, I'd get the roadini. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
