Well, I can't say I'd be in the market for a longer version of the Hunq or 
Atlantis. They may be much better at touring with longer stays....but I'm 
just not in the market for a touring bike after buying an Atlantis 
recently. 

What I do want is a Rivendell mountain bike made to ride the singletrack 
around me...and that would ideally have short stays and a good slack head 
tube angle. I can deal with canti bosses instead of disc brakes and I love 
steel, and threaded headsets work fine, and my two Rivs ride great and are 
excellent for me...but I'm in the market for a second mountain bike. And 
not a bike to ride wide fire roads, but a bike to shred single track.  It 
would make me happy to have a Riv to do that on. 

But I digress....


Longer stays will probably be more stable for the touring bikes.
