I have a 56 Atlantis that I might consider swapping for a 59 Hilsen. On Apr 23, 8:16 pm, Scotty wrote: > man, every time I look at the Hunqapillar with the gray/kidney color scheme > it speaks to me.

[RBW] Re: I could very possibly be talked into trading my A Homer Hilsen
Great thread! I too, have a Homer and have been drooling over Hunqa's for a while now. 90% of my riding is on the road, in fact last summer was my first serious dalliance with single track. I bought a 90s Rockhopper, rigid fork, and I really like that type of riding. So...I've decided that the Hunq will be my next bike. I can't part with my Homer. I do love the Rodeo too. My goal is to have one of each, with Homer set up to tour/commute, Rodeo for the fast club rides (although my fast today is much less so than it used to be) and the Hunqa for everything else. I would definitely seek the Riv folks' advice about your choice of ride. I was originally going to buy a Rodeo, but after discussions with Grant and Keven, I opted for the Homer. (This was a little over a year ago, and my first foray into the Riv world. I drooled over crabon fiber up until then.) I am really glad I took their advice, and that is what I'll do when I add my second Riv to the stable. Anyway, you're right about the look and attitude of the Hunqa. It looks like a great ride, and the great thing about a Riv is that I don't think you can really go wrong. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I can't help you with the trade, sorry. I don't know if I would trade a Homer for a Hunqapillar, but I would buy a Hunqapillar to compliment a roadish Homer. Nothing wrong with two bikes except cost of course. I guess in the grand scheme of things, I could really get by with just an Atlantis to do road riding, touring and some trail riding, maybe a Hunqapillar even. The only issue would be that my size would necessitate 26" wheels and I would want something a little larger for road riding for sport. But I am going off on a tangent now, sorry. I think the bottom line is that if you really will use the Hunqapillar more than the Homer, and use wider tires offroad ect., it probably would be a better bet for you. Not that the Homer is a slouch, but it is certainly more road oriented than the Hunq. good luck on what you decide.

Be careful what you wish for... I've had similar Hunqa-lust. Went so far as to call Riv and talk to Keven about the different capabilities between dream Hunqa and my Homer. Keven suggested that unless I was planning to ride lots of cobblestone single-track or haul big loads that the Homer was quite capable. His advice was to not baby my Homer and have fun. It was/is good advice. Sure, I wouldn't mind having a Hunqa to hang next to Homer and pull out for the occasional off-road adventure but I think if all I had was a Hunqa, I'd be Homer-sick quite often. FWIW... Following a couple recent dirt road adventures (even a few cobblestones) Homer with 40mm tires is beast enough/perfect for the vast majority of where I want to ride. Not sure how your Homer is set up but perhaps a few component changes would renew it. Whatever direction you go, Happy Pedaling. --Smitty On Monday, April 23, 2012 8:16:23 PM UTC-7, Scotty wrote: > > man, every time I look at the Hunqapillar with the gray/kidney color > scheme it speaks to me.
