Hi Brian,
Congrats on your new(+2 mths) Hunqapillar! Great pic!
I recently got my Hunqapillar, too, and love riding it, though on far more
civilized roads(black top and other smooth paved) than you've been.
The Albatross bar's a great bar. My wife has one on her Betty Foy and loves
it. An
I'd like to try some mustache handlebars on my mountain bike. Drop me
a line to let me know what you have and how much you'd like. I'll try
to get back to you this weekend. Thanks.

This list has many riders in the "north of 250 lb" category, so
"light" and "heavy" take on a rather different meaning.

i'm putting interrupters on my atlantis sometime soon, i can ride anything

How light a rider and load are we talking about here? I'm confused because

Does anyone have experience mounting a supernova taillight to a fender?
I imagine it's do-able, just wondering if anyone has done it.
I am going to be running Berthoud stainless fenders.

I've had the same problem. I contacted Phil Wood by email and I've
pasted the response below. Unfortunately I still couldn't get it to
work with these instructions. I just put it back together and kept
riding, though I will eventually need to replace the bearings. It has
been a few months since

For some reason, I somewhat like the diagonal tube on the Hunq, while the
parallel tubes on the Homer, etc, are a non starter for me. I don't really
care for the full distance diagonals on the Bombadil, either... but lately,
the Hunq is kind of preying on my mind.

I agree. I was too late in drinking the cool aid and got the green Rambouillet,
so when I ordered the Homer I had it painted the original Ram orange.

All other differences aside, I think some folks would prefer the
single top-tubed Atlantis over the Hunq simply based on asthetics.
That is a perfectly resonable feeling. It took me a while, but I have
come to like the double-tube.
