I like the green but think it needs a cream head tube. The green would look
great in the woods. The orange is sweet too, though I agree, it is flashy.
FWIW. Bill

Interesting idea. I have a shelf full of great bicycling reads. I would be
interested in participating. Think I might start with Into Thick Air.

I ride a Hunqaplliar with bullmoose bars. They are a perfect fit. No
adapters needed! I especially love riding off road. These bars are solid
and give me a great feeling of control. I think you will be very satisfied
with them. ~ Bill

Yes, love the drops. I've had them on my Atlantis since day one and have
never considered changing. I really enjoyed reading your description, Hugh.
I know the feeling you describe. Well done. Bill

I started with Bullmoose bars on my Hunqapillar. Switched to Albas for a
bit but found them to be too upright for my riding style. Too much weight
was on the seat and there wasn't enough stretch. I found that most of my
riding was on the curve of the Albas and not too comfortable. Then I lopped
I'm planning to switch my bullmoose bars for albatrosses. Need to remove
the ergo bar grips to do this and was wondering if the group had ideas how
to do this without destroying the grips. They are not glued but don't budge
when I try to loosen them. Any ideas would be appreciated. Bill

Thanks for posting. Your photos bring back great memories when I visited
Alaska a few years ago. Your tour must have been awesome.Bill

It's clear that he understands the book and the pleasure of simply riding a

friend only to see the friend dressed in a tight shirt with advertisements,
I don't know if the review is online yet. I received a paper copy yesterday

I vote for the bullmoose. I ride a 54 cm Hunqapillar with bullmoose bars
and absolutely love them. They make the bike easy to control and provide a
comfortable ride. There are times when I'd like more hand positions but
they are few. Riding into a headwind I've been able to find a hand
I just got home from my 28 mile commute and loved it. Rode the Hunqapillar
today for only the second time. I'm amazed that even with dureme 50s the
bike rolls well. Think I like the morning ride best. The cool southern
Maine air has a way of waking me up. Often on the way home I hit a sea

bars and 700*50 duremes. I'll have a better idea if it's the right fit in a
This winter I'll be building my Hunqapillar. I got the frameset in
September along with a bottom bracket and crank. Last month I got bullmoose
handlebars, and brake levers. I had a leftover mini rack for the front.
Most recently I ordered Marathon Duremes 700*50s. I've been going back and
I'd be interested in riding the Acadia part. I've ridden the carriage roads

I have Marathon Supremes 700*35 and they're fine for the road and

Extremes 700*40 which work a lot better when the roads and trails get
messy. I have a lot more confidence in the Extremes. Bill

I vote for the Atlantis, but go for a new one. I was close to buying a
Hunq,it was 1500 for a Tawain built and 1600 for made in the USA. For
400 bucks you might as well go Atlantis. The bike is incredibly
versatile. I'm going from 35mm tires to 50s for the winter. I can it
it comfortably on or off
? I hope RBW stocks
them eventually, they seem like a great tire for an Atlantis, Bombadil
or Hunqapillar.

for posting. Your bike looks awesome. I'm curious about the
orange,which I prefer, thought the Hunq was only coming in red. What
type and size tires are you using? They fit the bike well. Bill

I own an Atlantis set up as a touring bike with 700*35 Marathon

adding another Riv, possibly a Bombadil or Hunq. I also considered the

Velosophy by Grant Petersen being released in April. I know that

so titled. Does anyone know
