Hunq'a owners -- I could use some advice: I have a Hunqapillar frame new in the box. It has been there for months. also have a box full of nice parts, some new from Rivendell, some NOS/Vintage. I had planned to make it a bullmouse'd mtb with thumbshifters, touring triple and the fat Schwalbe Big Apples 2.15".
Two years ago, I reduced my fleet to a hardtail (for the singletrack and the tough eastern PA trails) and my custom Capricorn "go-to" bike which I use for everything else and which sees 90% of my riding on roads, fire roads, gravel and the occasional, light singletrack. The Capricorn has 1.75" Schwalbe Marathons and the frame was modeled after my old XO-2. http://www.flickr.com/photos/theginz/sets/72157625185718404/ All of that said, do I really need this Hunqapillar build? Sure, it would be nice to bomb a few trails without having to ride my hardtail with squishy fork, clipless pedals, knobby tires "racey" geometry across town in misery. But, the Capricorn could do that if I removed the fenders. I do not tour, but hope to someday. The Hunq'a would be better suited for that. Also, I am quite small, 5'4", so finding frames that fit is extremely difficult. The Hunq'a is a bargain in that respect. Should I part with the Hunq'a frame while it is new and invest in some other stuff like a dyno hub, more racks and luggage, a second wheelset for the Capricorn?
