Nitto Noodle Bars 48cm 26.0; Nitto Dirt Drop Stem 26.0

I will also consider selling as a Frame/Fork/Headset/Bottom Bracket Combination with or without other parts. My email is klbeato at gmail. Cell is 510.703.1074

What price are you asking for F/F/H/B only?

I'm 6'3" and have a 93cm PBH in the morning.  My Hunq's stand-over height is the lowest of my 8 bikes including my 64cm Gunnar Roadie which also has a sloping TT. 

The reach on the Hunq is actually closer than my other bikes (Waterford RS-22) despite the longer top tube length due to the higher bar position. The reach is longer  on my 63.5cm Steve Rex, 63.5cm Map Randonneur Project bike, and 64cm Gunnar Roadie plus 3 other Rivendells 

My  other Riv'endells  all have higher SO heights with longer reaches due to their specific setups. My  64cm Roadeo  (yes 64cm - its a one off model I rode on PBP in 2011) has a 60cm top tube, while my 63cm Protovelo has a 60.5 cm top tube, and my 65cm Hilsen has a 62cm top tube. The variance in these top tube lengths is somewhat meaningless since the head tube angles are different on all of the bikes mentioned.  My Roadeo has a 73 degree Head tube angle (same as my, Map, Rex, and Waterford which all have similar TT lengths. My Gunnar has the shortest wheelbase and steepest HT angle at 73.5 degrees. It has a 60cm TT length but longer reach due to the saddle to bar position setup for the Oakland Port Ride.

Rivendell's Hunqapillar page describes the 62 as working for PBH's up to 100 cm. But it also says if you're in the high 6' range, to go with a Bombadil (or Atlantis, I'd presume). 

With abandon,
Patrick

Indeed! The 62cm Hunq's TT is long as it was designed around a bullmoose, albatross, or any other bar other than the noodle which is why you often see them with 130 technomic stems on Riv employees Hunqs. My picture shows my original setup with bullmoose which I didn't care for due to wrist pain I experienced when I rode anything over 20 miles. I used to ride the shop's demo 62cm Hunq (Taiwan made edition) with Grant while I was waiting for mine. It had albatross bars as did Jay R.'s first Waterford edition (prototype for larger tire clearance edition). I should mention mine is also the larger tire clearance edition.

Interesting, I didn't know there had been such changes. Is there somebody that has some information on this, a link perhaps?

Keith,
Was Jay R.'s prototype for the larger tire clearance edition the frame seen in this video or is this parallel 2TT one in the video even more prototypical?



Thanks,
Jim W.

Oh man, I test rode and wanted THAT bike. Even though it was a transitional version of the Hunqapillar of which surely very few were built, it seared itself into my brain as the perfection of that type of bike.
I believe it eventually sold to a customer and no doubt is making that person very happy.

(ahem) you are correct!


Knowing how its clearance compares to other Hunqapillars won't change anything for me, but Keith's recollection makes me curious.

I rode Jays Waterford built without the parallel TT. It was green. Mine is identical in Geo specs and  sliver

$2,300. It would also include the Bottom Bracket. I assume you meant Brakes by B? I also have an extra technomic deluxe stem.

My number is (510) 703-1074.

Cheers

Hi Keith, I just remeasured my PBH, I'm at 96.5cm.  I'm 6'5"  This looks like it might be the size in that case, huh?
