I mean, it may just be me, but I feel like the Crust Romanceur with a 26" wheelset is a great alternative for those of you wanting a Disc Hunqapillar-ish bike at a Taiwan price.
I am still lusting after a true Hunqapillar, but my Romanceur with Velocity Duallys and RTP tires is pretty darned comparable to my friends 56cm 650b Hunqapillar that I rode. The Hunq just felt a little bit longer/heavy/Rivendell-esque.
