It’s been just about two weeks now and I’ve ridden my new Hunqapillar pretty much every day since I put it together. Good stuff.
The bike handles very well, even under a light load. I’ll find out more about that this coming weekend when I go camping with a full load both aft and front.
In order to carry all this gear I put on both a Nitto Big Rack (rear) and a Wald basket up front. The image here is a little overexposed because my camera phone did a less than exemplary job, but hey, you’ll get the idea…

I’ve tried out my rear Ortlieb panniers (Bike Packer Plus from thetouringstore) on the rack and they fit fine. Up front I’ll stuff some stuff in the basket as I don’t have a rack that’ll handle the smaller Sport Packer Plus panniers.
The basket, a Wald, is very convenient for most everything so I don’t know that I’ll bother getting some low rider bits and pieces. Though if I can figure out some bolt on bits for the small rack I already have, perhaps I’ll do that…I’ve got enough braze-on bits to attach most anything.
So…camping soon…yes!
