well, i have an atlantis and am expecting a hunqapillar. the atlantis has fenders, racks, and drop bars, 37mm tires.
the hunqapillar won't have any of that, instead it'll be set up with bullmoose and 60cm apples. i didn't get a bombadil because i couldn't justify spending another 500. to me, the time investment needed to swap between components is going to add up. wheelsets and handlebar swapping, or just jumping on the right bike for what you're going to do? i'm looking forward to having a full on mountain bike rig again, even though it was fun to get looks when i rode by with my fendered atlantis on the trails around here... erik On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 4:03 PM, Mike <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, an AHH and a Bombadil would cover everything.
