+1 on going with the second wheel set.
I've never taken a ride on a Bombadil, but I have a 2013 Hunqapillar, and
it's really fun & zippy with 38mm Compass tires, even on Atlas rims. I have

38-44mm tires. Try out
Thanks Will, I didn't see that one coming!

Hi Dave,
I've had both, and am around your height. I rode both for fitness, camping,
and fun, and you really can't go wrong. My 64cm Sam might have been a bit
