[RBW] Re: Atlantis for Hunq trade?
my friend was deadset on an atlantis and when i took him to rivendell, he test drove pretty much everything they had. at the end he was like, "i really wanted to like the atlantis the most but man when i was on that hunqapillar i felt i could take it anywhere" or something like that. i have a 54 hunQ and the 58 atlantis would fit me great, but I'm not getting rid of mine. would you sell the atlantis? have any pics of it?

I appreciate the input! I am downsizing as well, and while yeah they'll do basically the same thing, there was a certain feeling I had when I was riding the Hunq through the California hills.

Whichever you build up first, practice contentment for three years. You'll be delighted you did!

While I agree in general with the view that the grass is always greener, the answer depends somewhat on your intended use. The 95% overlap may be true. There are a few list members who have one of each so they'd be a good source of info. IIRC, the Hunq takes fatter tires, if maximizing tire size is a desire. OTH, for touring, commuting, trail riding, etc., either one is perfect. I've had my 58 cm Atlantis for 14 years & every time I get the urge for a new shiny bauble, I go for a ride & ponder, "...so what is it that the (insert name of another bike here) will do for me that the Atlantis won't?...". The key is to identify what you want to do with the bike. It's a fun thought problem. Best of luck. dougP On Monday, May 29, 2017 at 8:48:07 AM UTC-7, Dylan Green pdx wrote: > > Hi RBW! > > I'll spare you all the details, but just as I was about to put a deposit > on a Hunqapillar, a used Atlantis popped up and I grabbed it.

[RBW] Re: Atlantis for Hunq trade?
I tend to agree. A 58 Atlantis and a 54/700c hunq are gonna do about 95% of the same work. That being said, I am currently pondering spacially and financially downsizing from a hunq and a Sam and a vintage trek, to a single 650b Atlantis. Logic says to just keep the hunq and sell the restbut that nagging feeling -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

You just bought a great bike, and probably at a great price. The ego wants wanting more than it wants having. Proof: as soon as we get something we start wanting something else. Joy isn't something we get out of things; it's something we put into things. In-joy the great bike that you have.
