my Atlantis. I new to look how much I paid for it. Email me off list if you

With regard to the Hunq'a vs. Bombadil question:
I would be inclined to stick with the 26 wheels of the Hunq'a so that
wheels can be shared with the Atlantis. You'll also save a few bucks
in exchange for the extra fanciness of the Bombadil.

Having an Atlantis and something similar makes perfect sense. Any of
the suggested frames can be widely transformed with a range of
