Joe,
I recently switched from a 10 cm Tallux + Albatross to a 80 mm Dirt Drop +
Noodles on my 68 cm Bomba. I loved the albatrosses and there was no real
reason for changing other than I felt like tinkering and I had some Noodles
in the basement. It's a good combo for me, the short reach and

Lot's great tire info on here. I just wanted to add my 2 cents re: rolling
with tires like Jan's. In case anyone gets the wrong idea - keep in mind
that Jan didn't carry camping gear and rode straight through. If you're
riding with 20+ lbs of extra gear, food and water, you'll most likely
I struggled to figure it out but ultimately, I think I just prefer not being
upright. I really like being in the hoods and the drops. I fought that for a
long time because Betty is so beautiful. I love the bike but realized I wasn't
riding her because I truly prefer a different riding style.
Hi! Help needed with my first Rivendell. Most of my riding will be on paved
and occasionally gravel roads with a very rare trip down an easy State Park
fire trail. Never done any mountain biking or trail riding. Originally
planned on ordering an Atlantis but due to my size (i am 6' 1 and 235

With the right tires and good Rich Lesnik wheels, the Hunqapillar is extremely
smooth on pavement. I've been riding it all over for the past year and a half,
and I never feel that it is heavy even though it is my most massive bike. The
only downside is that it has been putting the other bikes
When I bought my Hunqapillar 2+ years ago, my situation was nearly
identical to yours: mostly paved riding and touring with the ability to
handle dirt roads and some mild single track. Because of my brain injury I
learned I do MUCH better the more remote I am, so I now focus on dirt roads

Great point, Donnie. I'll see how I feel after I push the Quickbeam
envelope and tour do a Colorado version of the Oregon Outback. If my second
one is on the Hunqapillar, then we'll have our answer.

Pick your wheels and tires with some care to suit how you will ride and
your size, and your own preferences.

poison oak.

I have to agree, Mike, that either the Atlantis or the Hunqa will be fine
for you. I have a Hilsen, Hunq and a Roadeo. I'm 195 now but was at 240 in

better at the lighter weight.) My Hilsen gets 90% of all of my miles. I
I weigh the same as you, 6'2, and I'd ride any Rivendell anywhere. For your
proposed riding, I'd probably get the A. Homer Hilsen. Or a Roadeo. the
Hunqapillar has the best head badge, though.
