Oh, if they have parallel-tubed 64cm Bombadils, that seems it'd be worth a shot. I haven't compared the geometries, but it can't be way far off the theoretical Hunqa 65cm.
Consider the Hillborne carefully, though. I love mine to death. But It certainly won't fit the range of tires that either a Hunqa or a Bomba would. And I notice the price on the web is only $1000 for the 64cm; I'd check with RBW instead of assuming those have either canti-studs (which it isn't clear you care about) *or* two top tubes (which it seems clear you do). It'd be cool if the Hillborne works out for you; the price would sure be right! Mine's a dream.
