Because I prefer really wide tires and no toe overlap, I would prefer 650B
for my bike. I looked into having disk tabs added to my Hunqapillar and I
could buy a different (non-RIV, of course) frameset for what that

RBW have stated at least once that the Hunqapillar will come back, but in a
different form. I hope that's what is coming in October.
If they didn't make major changes to the Hunqapillar, a newer version would
just be an Appaloosa. Other than longer chainstays and probably heavier
tubes,
Read the 1UP descriptions very carefully. I'm pretty sure when I bought
mine, they sold a 1.25" hitch version but I think it didn't have the
ability to be locked to the hitch, which was a must-have for me. Heck,
mine might be a 1.25" with a spacer to make it 2".

I always liked those Rosco's. I remember the matte green one RBW posted on
their website and then there was a darker green one that had a horizontal
second top tube and was taller and shorter (55.5 ST & 600 ETT). The
darker one also had canti posts. I REALLY liked that one.

It might be sacrilege, but if I ever decided to change the color of my

I don't know if there is any demand, but I would love to see a mid-size
(mid to upper 50's in size) bike with moderate chainstay length, 26" wheels
and a long ETT length. Like an Original 56cm Atlantis stretched 3 to 5 cm
on the front-end and maybe a little in the back.
Probably only missing
This was my favorite of the Rosco's and it's like Grant personalized the
fit just for me. Alas, I just bought a Hunqapillar and no new bikes are in
my near future.

I forgot to add that the Appaloosa is probably a stouter bike, based on the
tubing specs Will gave me and what little I've found on the Hunqapillar's
tube specs. I'm a really heavy guy so that might result in a noticeable
difference.

I would really like to ride a 1st generation 55cm Appaloosa back-to-back
with my 54 Hunqapillar. The front-ends and BB drop are virtually
identical, so the only real difference would be chainstay length.

RBW sometimes gets the top tube length wrong on their geometry charts
(often using actual length instead of effective) and such is the case with
the 54 Hunqapillar.
Years ago, I found this schematic somewhere online and it shows both actual
and theoretical top tube lengths. I have also
A very basic understanding of Stack and Reach has been very helpful for
me. I know a bike with a Reach in the 300's will be too short for me and
that a stack of about 600 is the minimum for my preferred bar height.

Is there a photo out there of this bike with albatross bars and a Sugino
wide-low crankset? The bike is leaning against a corner. The size and
color look the same but this was before I discovered RBW so maybe that was
a common color. The albatross photo was one of the first to spark my

I have several of the old Hunqapillar brochures saved on my computer and
the one where Grant states they have received the first frames shows a
diagatube bike, so I'm guessing the parallel tubes were only on some
prototypes.
The (old model) 54 Hunqapillar is the largest with a single top

Making one's political leanings known is no big deal (although I also
prefer all of my hobbies to remain free of politics) but routinely calling
half the country (and half of your potential customers) racist, insinuating
