62cm Rivendell Hunqapillar

[jaredwilson]

Hey group

I was fortunate enough to get this 62cm Hunq with the intention of finding it a forever home. I've been down this road already, can't make a 62 work with my 89cm PBH, but I know one of you can!

This bike belonged to Ed O'neill, Al Bundy on Married with Children, and came to me through a friend who was able to procure Ed's orange 60cm Cheviot. There are photos of Ed on the Chev, but I've not been able to find any of him on the Hunq. Both bikes were built by Rivendell and featured similar racks, Brooks saddles, and Boscomoose handlebars.

Some of you may know that a 58cm Hunq is a grail bike for me, so I will open this up to trades for a 58, otherwise this beauty needs a tall legged companion to live out its next chapter with. This bike is very low miles, has some surface rust on components, and a few nicks and scrapes from what I believe to be shop wear. I've tried to best capture the condition of the bike, but let me know if any more photos are needed. I've gone through and done a light tune up on it to confirm proper operation of all systems, but some cosmetic clean up is likely in the cards for the new steward.

Asking $3,600 or trade for 58cm Hunq.

The bike is with me in Berkeley, CA and I'd love to have a local transaction, but can entertain shipping if demand is there. Again, who's sitting on that too-small-for-them 58cm Hunq and wants to chat?!

Please reach me at jaredwi...@gmail.com, NOT the email associated with this listing.

Thank you for your time and have a lovely life :)

Let me know if you decide to sell frameset only and would ship to Wisconsin. My opportunities for one of these are few and far between.

Good luck with the sale.

I'd be interested, but the $$$ is a bit rich for my blood. I just purchased this immaculate 64cm Redwood for $1200 with the original paperwork!

$1200 for a Redwood is a good price.  Everything second hand should be half retail.  Redwood completes were $1500 in 2005, which is $2500 in 2026 dollars.  Half that, and there you are!  

Hunqs don't follow that rule because there are a lot more people claiming to want one than there are people offering to sell one.

Great looking bike John!   I have a Rev Redwood at 65cm that I bought new in the bay area.   Curious as to that stem that you are using that raises the bars and reduces the reach?  Also, what tires are running.   I have Schwalbe 35mm and I believe the spec says the max is 38mm.   Ideally I could find a way to squeeze a 40mm alternative for rougher rails/trails routes.   Thanks!

Hey Bob,

Thanks!

I too am running 37 Schwalbe - Marathon Plus. You can run a little wider, but anything taller will hit the crossbar support on the chainstays. I tried to install a fender and the tire rubbed against the lower bolt securing the rear fender. I've been riding 35-37s at 60-65lbs for decades. I wouldn't mind a bit wider. Maybe wider rims would allow the tire to spread out, so to speak, and not be so tall ??? I run a pair of Marathon 365 700x37 on my trusty cyclocross and it handles the rough terrain much better than the Marathon Plus. The Marathon 365 at 37mm should fit on our Redwoods; they handle the street well too, but wear out quicker.

I swapped out the original Nitto Technomic for a Nitto 110mm face plater '90-190' that moves the bars up a little bit higher than the Technomics. The reach is about the same as the Technomic, maybe 10mm shorter. The Noodles are 460mm. I might try a 135mm Nitto stem with the face plate.

We visit parents in Oro Valley near Tucson a couple times a year. There's has to be some good riding in that area!

Is there ever John. 

How big of a ride are you able to do? I used to ride out to Oro Valley from east Tucson. The Loop Path is incredible. Don't miss a ride up Sabino Canyon to watch the sunset or Mt Lemon on a sleepy Sunday morning.

[John Ahearne]

Hey Bob, 
I regularly do 20-30 miles in the cool San Francisco weather. My best is 55 miles in a day.

Thanks all for finding something to converse about within this thread, I love how we can riff and make connections in unlikely places.

Thank you Bill for your deviation from the rule, these Hunqapillars really are in their own category.

That said, the Hunq is still available! Not looking to part out, but am open to shipping, or most preferably a local deal. I did show it to a local gent, it came up a little tall for him, but maybe he'll chime in and give some reassurance about the bike.

Hope you have a nice day leading into this holiday weekend <3

Hello all, I'm the local gentleman to whom Jared showed the Hunqaqpillar.

I can confirm this bike is everything Jared says it is, and more. It's in like-new condition and the ride is silky-smooth. I loved it immediately and I would have bought it on the spot, but it's just a few centimeters too big for me. 

Whoever gets this gem of a bike will be very lucky.

Hi John, 

There is terrific riding in Tucson area with bike trails and street routes alike.   You may want to check out the Tour de Tucson tha is upcoming and is one of the most popular city routes around.  A metric 100 and a full 100 mile route, and you can get a good idea of how they lay them out.   I ride primarily in Scottsdale and Fountain Hills with our local cycling club.  Club rides on Saturday's are 30-35 milers and during the week longer on an ad hoc basis.

Does anyone have the catalog/documented geometry for this specific year?

Tyler

[Bill Lindsay]

This ought to be the right geo.  The 62 Hunqapillar is a legitimate XL, maybe even a XXL depending.

Can't vouch that this is right or where I got it but it's cool and it seems to coincide with the chart that Bill just shared.

Max

[Tyler Ryan]

Thanks Bill and Max, this one is sadly definitely too big for me.

[jaredwilson]

New price, $3400!! 

Let's get this Hunq out of my living room and under your bum :)
