Hunqaparallel

[James Warren]

This was a fun assembly, and I'm very lucky I happened to look at the Riv site right when this prototype Hunqapillar went for sale. I'm riding it daily, and I love it, especially with nicely indexing stem shifters. I can't wait to get some 700x55's on it, probably Big Bens. This is a fun bike.

Especially love the stem-mount-shifters.  I have a set of the stem-mounts, waiting for which bike to try them on.  It's pretty likely I will like them.

I also really like the BLAST of flashback from every flash photo including Sackville products.  The reflective material on there is BRIGHT and generously applied.  There's a T-intersection on my commute, where I have no stop sign and the cross traffic does.  Cars have a tendency to blow the sign, unless they can see you.  The side reflectors of my Sackville front come in handy there. 

[James Warren]

Yes. I guess it's about time I learned how to use my camera and not always use the flash.

Anyway, I love Rivendell's recent commitment to reflectivity. I ride a lot in the dark. Any extra helps.

Regarding the stem shifters, they are pretty convenient, probably my favorite compromise between convenience and cables out of the way.

Jim:

Congrats on getting that together so quickly.  It came out nice.  I have a set of stem shifters someone gave me a while back that I need to try out.  I've yet to find a cable routing with my bar ends that didn't get in the way somehow, especially with front bags.

Bah you double top tubers got it good. I would be adding so many weird dodads between the two tubes it would be amazing place to fill up.
