Wow Dave, that is a lot. Like 25 or 30 percent slower eh? To put that all
down to weight difference would mean like 40 pounds wouldn't it? Is your
Gunnar 10s of pounds lighter than your Hunqapillar?
I suspect a lot of your difference is down to position on the bike, whats

Ted - My ambivalence starts when a lot of money and time get invested into
it. I realize its a long shot to get an exact trade (or close to it,
ideally for just a frame and fork trade). Could be worth it in the long
run. I'd have to put some thought into it.
I do about 33-35 minutes up on the Gun
You should check it out. We're similar PBH and I would be on a 48 Hunq. I owned
a 54 AHH which I never should have sold (cash crunch at the time). It fit great
with Alba bars, and rode like the wind. They never come up in that size used,
so get thee hence!

Did your brakes have enough range of adjustment for the change from 26" to
650B?
I'm actually a bit surprised that you are "noticeably slower on the hunq
than on my go fast road bike" going up say Tunnel road. Do you notice the
difference just by feel on your own, by timing it, by comparison wi
Ha! I saw that yesterday. The price is high and I think I'd want a 52, but I
may go check it out. I'm actually traveling and it'll be a while before I can
check it out but funny timing since I almost never see AHH's for sale

All good questions! I actually have some 650b wheels left over from a Sam I
briefly owned and have been running those on the hunq, outfitted with compass
42mm tires. I ran smart sam's on there for a long time and still have them.
I'm looking for something lighter that climbs better than the hunq
I think his Sam was 650B too, so if he thought his Sam and his Hunqapillar
rode the same the wheel size probably doesn't matter to him.

Dave,
John is right. Drop everything and go look at (and test ride) that bike
immediately. It should help clarify your options more than any amount of
internet advice. You may go meh, you may catch a case of lust, but either
way I bet it helps settle what you want (including what size is best f
Wheel size will make a difference with how the bikes feel. Going from the
Hunq to the Hilsen, he will be going from 26" to 650b. That is a change I
can usually feel and on the road I think the 650b feels faster.

Dave,
Have you seen this one on
CL? http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/bik/5378131226.html Relatively close
to you. Not cheap but appears to be a nice build with low mileage.

What would he be giving up that wouldn't be worth it? Sounds like you are
very familiar with both models, have you owned both?
As to "Ebay for some 531 bike or going with a Boulder or Lyon might be more
what you are after" it might, or it might not be. Really it depends on what
dstein likes. Me
dstein,
If you think the Hunqapillar and the Sam Hillborne ride the same you will
likely think the Sam and the Hilsen ride the same too.
As you pointed out Grant has said the Sam and Hilsen are functionally
interchangeable, though there are differences between them.
I haven't ridden a Hunqapill
These bikes are all very similar.
I don't think switching to an AHH will be a huge Chang and what you give up in
return might not be worth it.
Ebay for some 531 bike or going with a Boulder or Lyon might be more what you
are after.

I actually do have compass tires on there now ;) And that is my fear. I
felt the hunq and sam rode the same honestly and since i liked the hunq
more i sold the sam. And I've heard the sam and ahh ride the same (grant's
words).

Get some compass tires for your hunq- it will be much faster. If you want
really fast, look into skinny flexy tubing or some vintage 531 and compass
tires. The AHH likely won't be that huge of an upgrade.

Definitely have some interest in people wanting to buy a 48cm Hunq. Anyone
have a 52cm AHH they're willing to sell (frame/fork preferred but also open
to complete)?

Shoji, that helps a lot hearing that the AHH is noticeably the 'faster'
bike. That is what I'm looking for, something that serves as an errand
bike, bike camping bike, and is faster than my hunq on road rides which
would be 70% of the rides on it.
The Jones plus is unbelievably fantastic, but I ha
Hi,
I'm also 5'7" and nearly 81 PBH. I have a 48cm Hunqapillar and 56cm AHH.
I love them both! I, too, have been looking at the Jones+. Maybe a future
bday present. (Glad I haven't called yet!)
The Hunqapillar serves great duty as a kid hauler and grocery getter. It is
an occasional mountain bi
I realize that is not a ringing endorsement for the hunq, the bike is fine, the
rider was the issue there ;)

Yeah I figure it's a long shot, I almost never see used ones pop up ;)
I got a Jones Plus. I kept crashing on the hunq and looking for a more stable,
confident ride on technical single track. Was smitten with all the words on the
internet around the jones and after calling and talking to Jeff I
Good luck tracking down a used AHH, I think you would really enjoy one.
Sort of OT but I am curious what has replaced your Hunqapillar as your main
off road ride and what motivated the change. Could you elaborate?
