The Hilsen, the Quickbeam and the Roadeo have straight top tubes.
Agreed. The Hunquapillar seems to be way overbuilt. Who will actually use that bike as it was designed? Not many, I suspect. The diagonal tube configuration is offensive to my C&V sensibilities. It's just plain ugly.
I have a friend who owns, rides and loves his Quickbeam (although he replaced the crank and wheelset). It's a nice bike and I really like the rear dropouts, but the cantilever brakes are overkill for sure and the original crank was ugly.
