I've had an LHT which i upgraded with a Hunqapillar frame. There is quite a
difference in handling. I always felt I was"turning" the LHT rather than
leaning through the turns on the Hunq. The Hunq handles more like a mountain
bike.
I've since bought a Hillborne since I wanted a
Hi Drew,
I own both and really like both. The LHT gets the wrap of being a tank, but i
think it rolls down the road very nice and provides a fairly cush ride. The
AHH provides a bit of spring on hill and feels more responsive. I primarily

curious how the ride really differs, in practical terms. I currently own
an LHT and it's been a great bike, but it's "too much" bike for me. I'm
looking for something that would be snappier than the LHT but still able to
