Rivendell Hunqapillar
Last week I took delivery on a Rivendell Hunqapillar frame. A lot of information about it was placed on my blog during the past few months:

https://simplecycle-marc.blogspot.com...ar-covers.html
https://simplecycle-marc.blogspot.com...-tadatada.html
but now that I have built it up, I wanted to say that this makes a great touring bike. It is made from very substantial tubing, rides like you're rolling on velvet and is considerably more nimble and responsive than the Surly LHT.
I'm looking forward to putting knobbys on it and taking it off road this spring, but I wanted it primarily for weekend week long tours. It's got braze-ons for any configuration of baggage you can imagine. I am really pleased with it overall. I know that Rivendell frames are not everybody's cup of java, but it really exceeds my expectations.
