Thanks for the pics and info Conway. My idea to apply this to a 700c Atlantis is dumb because the difference between 700c and 26" is too great. To have equal total wheel size (wheel + tire), I'd have to run a skinny tire in the back and a 2.2"+ up front. Nope. Thanks though. Cool stuff. If I knew a Hunqapillar fork was the biggest piece of a Hunqapillar I'd ever get to own, I might purchase it for that reason alone :-p
