Hello everybody I’ve been a member of this forum for a while but haven’t had much to contribute so far aside from the odd comment on a couple of threads. However, I thought I would introduce myself in anticipation of a post in the coming weeks once I assemble a couple of dream bikes (Hunqapillars for myself and my partner!)
My partner and I live in Dunedin, New Zealand, and we are avid commuter/utility riders as well as occasional cycle tourists. We currently ride LHTs, have recently bought for short trips and we have a beautiful sage Hubbuhubbuh. I had my adult rediscovery of bikes a few years ago when I quit what I was doing, bought the LHT and spent four months touring NZ. During that tour I met a guy riding a bike unlike any I had seen at that point, and until I saw that it had modern Shimano components, I believed must have been a relic.. What really made an impression on me was that he seemed to glide along the road rather than ride and couldn’t believe riding a bike could be so joyous (as much as I enjoyed riding my LHT). I wrote down the word “Atlantis”, and when I finally had a chance to google it, I fell headlong into the Rivendell universe! I found out recently from an old blug that this was Caddie Mike - if you’re on here Mike, thanks! I met my partner shortly after I finished that tour and indoctrinated her into cycling for fun and utility, eventually built her a LHT also, and we both ended up with Albatross bars and a longing for a Rivendell bike... We thought the HHH might sate us but ultimately we both needed singles too! We pushed the button on two Hunqs in January and just received them. Once I’ve got them assembled I’ll report back...
