Hunqapillar coming back with a new design?

[Chris L]

RBW has a 53cm Hunqapillar prototype frameset (in the original gray/red color scheme!) for sale with the statement that this is the last chance to get a new "old style" Hunqapillar and that a redesigned, MUSA version may be coming.   

Having recently purchased a 54 Hunqapillar, I'm intrigued by what Grant & Co. will do for a new version.

Looks like it sold fast. Pretty cool that they’re working with Steve Rex now, it would be awesome to see them start using some fillet brazing on a joint or two.

The Gus Boots and its iterations are already slated to be fillet-brazed in places.

I'm curious what happened to the pre-sale plans for Gus. It's still hinted at in the Blahg, but most of it got edited out after a couple days.

That went fast! 

Honestly, I wish that they wouldn't change it at all. I love that bike (I prefer the newer green and cream color scheme) and would buy one in a heartbeat if I didn't have to spend almost $3000 on the frame and then wait 6 months (or whatever it currently is) for delivery. I understand Grant's rationale for the geometry changes, and obviously he knows waaaaay more than me about bike design, but their recent moves to put ultra-long chain stays on everything just doesn't do it for me.

The Hunq link doesn't work, at least it doesn't work for me. What are the geometry changes to the new Hunq?

Still 'round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

I’m happy to see it back, but surprised about any geometry changes. I owned one briefly, and the handling was quite majestic. Totally unsuited to the majority of my riding, but a great bike.

[Jonathan D.]

I hear it will have disc brakes. 😁

The page didn't give any details, just a statement that it might come back with a new design.

I am still on the hunt for a used 58 in good condition. Unicorns, those things.
