[RBW] Favorite Front Racks and Baskets for All-Rounders/Atlantis/etc?

Hunqapillar is brilliant as an all-rounder go anywhere do everything bike. Here's my review of the Hunq: http://thegrid.ai/withabandon/the-mad-genious-of-rivendells-hunqapillar With abandon, Patrick On Tuesday, January 24, 2017 at 5:47:38 PM UTC-7, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Ah, I didn't interpret

[RBW] Re: WTB 51 Hunqapillar

Ah, I didn't interpret "a little trail" as singletrack. That would be my bias of riding China Camp here in Marin County, which is quite tight, steep, switchback-y terrain. I think I would probably enjoy it on my Joe, but yes, I believe the Hunqapillar is more directed at that type of riding.

I like the stout tubing as well. The longer wheelbase of the Joe gave me concern for singletrack handling. An Atlantis would be a great option too as I'm a slight fellow so no real need for big tubes. Then there is the aesthetic aspect where the Hunq and Atlantis shine in my opinion. -- You

I've only tried the Joe (my blue 51), but I know it's great for the uses you've described. My understanding is that the Hunqapillar is a bit heavier built for serious trail riding, it may be more frame than you need for what you want to do. Joe Bernard Vallejo, CA. -- You received this
