Thanks, Bones. I know how you feel- sometimes I can't help but sit and
stare at Sweet As. But then, I remember how much fun she is to ride and off
I go!
I hope life opens some doors for you soon so that you might continue your
adventures and live your own dreams. Cheers.

I have a green Hunqapillar with no cream accent on the seat tube. Serial

Thanks for all the thoughts.
Someone asked if I'd weighed the wheels, unfortunately I don't have a scale.
Maybe I'll swap the tires sometime. Not really my end goal, but would help

I suggest using an FD for a road triple or a mountain triple (instead of a
road double) with the 38-24 cranks as those are just the middle and inner
chainrings the FD expects in a triple. The 105 is designed for a very large
outer ring (around 50-ish) in a compact double crankset (43.5mm

So we're back to #1 - light tires & tubes. Followed by #2 - light rims &
spokes.
No one else want to chime in on friction? How much slip does say, a
semi-knobby tire like the Cazadero allow compared to the RH & is that
noticeable when accelerating?
Inboard brakes are a thing of beauty &
The comparison to motor vehicle unsprung weight may parallel bicyclists'
focus on wheel and tire weight but available horsepower of even weak
engines makes all but the most competitive motor vehicles seem sloppy with
their unsprung, wheel and tire weights comparatively.

Have you ridden the GF's bike to see what's going on with the shifting? Is

Thanks for posting that! I remember reading it way back when, but I

particular Hunqapillar.

Car & motorcycle racers talk about unsprung weight, in other words the
weight of the components that the suspension system does not act upon
(rims, tires, brake calipers etc.). Keeping this number to a minimum is
critical to building a competitive vehicle as this directly effects
acceleration

I pre-ordered one of the original Hunqapillars. From what I can recall,
the Hunquapillar was the first Taiwan built Rivendell bicycle after
Rivendell left Toyo Japan. It might have even been a Toyo Taiwan shop. I
don't believe any were made by Toyo Japan. There was a long wait period

Also, the Cazaderos have small knobs; this will certainly affect rolling
