More Hunka news

arrive in WC.
I read it very carefully looking for news on the SimpleOne, but alas,
no updates for my next planned bike purchase
http://www.rivbike.com/blogs/news_post/209
Perhaps I can hope that one of the recycled cycles is a 58 Quickbeam?

checking the measurements at this very moment.

Hunqapillar gets a prize - a nice repro Frank Patterson illustration.
All ya gotta do is join the Flickr group if you haven't already and
post it first! Well, then I'll need an address and stuff, but that's a
detail, not part of the prize.

grainy.
Also got to ride it. It's a really good ride; smooth, nimble, and very
comfy with the Marathon XRs. I can see going a long way on it.
Grant is going to post better pictures tonight.
How do I explain the mud I splashed on my pants to my boss?

Those are awful pictures. Are you also the same photgrapher that took the Bigfoot photos and made the Zapruder film? Although the graininess does certainly give them a certain "spy photo authenticity".

smiling for now. Stay tuned for more little bribes as the production

the two that arrived today. I've been duped!
Marty, I want one of those prints anyway. My wife claims that she's
down for tandem touring in 2010, so I wanted to get that for her.
Email my gmail to tell me how to get my hands on a print.

more like a 65. Great ride!

No, you don't have to say it.
This list has by-and-large been positive.
If you don't like the bike and you cannot find a constructive way to
put it, then don't comment at all.

But Steve, it's unfinished; of course it looks ugly. Otherwise, not much different than the Bombadil, no?

to revel in the 'fugly' comments from the general population.
That big one is most certainly a beast (a sexy beast, but a beast
nonetheless).
I already have a 56cm Hillborne, and a 56 Bomba that I'll be picking
up this month. Would a 54cm Hunqa be an absurd add to the stable?
That would be all three expanded frame (+6 degree) models. My
Hillborne has 36 hole wheels, so I could easily move those over to a
Hunqa and set up the Hillborne lighter, like a budget Hilsen, maybe
even with a nice compact double. I could even try running Silver long
reach calipers. It's got the recessed allen bridges. That would just
be crazy.....crazy like a fox!

an exact budget version. More of a budget cross between the Atlantis
and Bombadil. Don't believe the tubing is as stout as the Bomba. And
the smaller wheel size is 26" instead of 650B.
Looking at the photos, the raw bike has a great eye appeal. Makes me
happy I pre-ordered a 58cm. Wonder how long before I lay out all the
parts like a small shrine? Not that I'm excited about it or anything.

paint with the red, blue, or orange panels. I didn't like the look of
the double-top-tube bikes at first but it has grown on me. I ride a
68cm Atlantis and Quickbeam now, and I don't notice much (if any)
frame flex or anything. But for a bike that's more dialed in for
off-road riding, like the Bomba or the Hunqa, it's probably a good
idea. Even for the bigger AHH, it can't hurt. It's definitely a
distinctive look!

as it's pictured. Just to get an idea of how the "expanded" frames
compare to the traditionally configured frames size-wise. My seat
height is ~34" and I'm curious if a 62cm Hunqa would fit me. I have no
doubt that a 64cm Bomba would be a great fit.

Similarly, I'm 6'3.5", and I'm pretty happy with 64 cm Atlantis, but I don't consider it a full-on dirt bike, but I do take it in the dirt a lot.
I have short legs for my height and keep my seat no higher than 81 cm above the center of the BB.
I'm considering a Hunqapillar as my dedicated mountain bike with wide knobbies on it at all times and probably bullmoose bars and a mountain triple with a 12-36 in the back. As such, I am wondering if the 58 cm would be just the size I want. I'll talk to the guys at Rivendell if I really get serious about this, but I just wanted to share. There aren't any geometry charts yet, are there?
-Jim W.
p.s. As for the appearance, I think it looks pretty good in the photo, built up, and without paint. With paint, it's gonna be beautiful.

ride a 65cm Redwood, 83cm saddle height. If i were in the market for a
Hunq i'd get the 58 just for the increased clearance and slightly
quicker handling offroad, because it would be mostly a trail bike for
me. It seems like there wouldn't be many riders (other than Shaun) who
would take the 62, but it's certainly good news for those who missed
out on the 68cm frames Riv used to stock (they might even have some
left, i guess they were slow sellers).

opened the picture in photoshop- where there's a tool called the
'measure tool'. It can tell you the number of pixels between any two
points in a digital image. Using this tool and a little ratio
arithmetic, I figure that the seat height on that 62cm Hunqapillar is
approximately ~83.5cm (this is assuming there is minimal distortion in
the photo due to the camera lens).

Cool! Thanks for the info. If that's accurate, I'd need to raise that
saddle by about an inch, which seems pretty reasonable. Especially
considering that a little extra clearance might be desirable for a
bike that would be ridden off-road, as Bill pointed out.
