So anyone who has an Atlantis doesn't really need a Hunq unless they like the idea of going to 700C.
What about a current Hillborne owner (like me)? It seems there is even less reason to get a Hunq. If I need a more rugged bike than my Sam, I should go Bomba, it seems. The differences between the Hunq and the Hillborne seem very subtle. You can go to a 60. It looks classier. It fits in the sizing gaps. It's heavier and more expensive.
