Tim, Good try - but think you went off by using source rather than just simple phonetics.
Hunquapiller - "hunk 'a piller". aka the Toyo made Rivendell 650B unicycle. Since Grant cannot justify the cost of a full bike from Toyo in this economy, the brain trust went to work and figured out what they could get that would still sell. Took Grant a lot of tries to find just the right lug for the crown. Of course, sizing will be different from other unicycles, with just a "fistfull" of post showing. (All this needs to be approved by the law firm of Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger & McCormick before it is released.) P.S. Oops. Forgot a Hungerdunger - and the most important one, too.
