Hi Everyone:
Some nice kid-hauling set ups!
I have my Hunqapillar set up for kid hauling (2-yo and 4-yo). Yepp Mini
front seat (which I highly recommend) on albatross hbars; Burley Piccolo
trail-a-bike (has its own dedicated rear rack). I also have a Burley D'Lite
trailer. (I'm also an h-bar

I have them set up for my Hunqapillar with DaVinci
Thanks for that, Mark.
Great pics and text. I really enjoyed it. Love the Atlantis and how it's
turned out for you.

Hi Jay,
Perhaps you have too much mechanical advantage? Are your brake levers
bottoming out on the handlebars? If so, you might want to try a long
straddle cable.
Deacon Patrick runs a headtube-length straddle cable on his Quickbeam.
(With what looks like CR720, same style as Neo Retros.)
Hi Bill,
Jeremy Spencer did this on his AHH (but not the double-struts):

And yes to the metal fenders. IIRC, some listers have done something
similar with front racks bolting to metal fenders and using a metal
. Can anyone confirm this from experience? What I would
like to hear is that the brakes will work with regular road levers without
any extra hardware.
Thanks,

Hi Mike,
I'm a 30, and I think the smalls are fine for me (but on the waist it's on
the tighter side of fit).
I like them, but the pockets ride out of the bottom at times when I ride.
Not the end of the world, but I don't have this problem with other shorts.
I think the knickers are my
I don't think they're bullmoose. Here's a pic from another angle:

Hi Patrick,
Once you've got the right length set for the bike, it's easy to cut a new
chain to size. Just hang 'em side by side. The old one (that was the right
length) will be a little longer due to stretch, but you should be able to
figure out where to cut the new chain.
Watch those toes!
Yes-- thanks, Amit, for the pics and write up!

Hi Michael,
I have Big Bens (measure 52mm) and Compass (measure 44-ish) for my
Hunqapillar.
The Big Bens are a wonderful tire. Fast on the streets with little noise,
and great float on the trails. (Going over roots at low pressure-- you
won't even know they're there!)
After reading all the

You folks will have a great time. Looking forward to the pics. (*snifff*,
wipes away tear from having to miss this one.)

Got mine in MA. Will join you all in spirit.
Of course, Eunice out did miPhone-ography with that yummy-looking donut
thing. Here's my sage shirt+patch (which is super nice, BTW)

I think the number of eyelets and braze ons are limited on the Roadeos
because it is (1) purpose built as go fast and (2) weight!
I'm guessing that the weight issue was an important target for Grant/Riv:
sub-20# steel bike.
A full complement of frame braze ons can add a lot of weight
Stonehog/Brian Hanson has a saddlesack on a porteur rack (Pass-n-Stow rack,
I think):
