Re: [RBW] What size Hunq

[cyclotourist]

I think it's dependent on how you plan on riding it. I'm between sized (54 and 58) with an 89 PBH and would need to decide if I wanted more standover or the bars higher.

Hi John,

I've got a PBH of 91.5 and I'm 5'11". I went with a 58 hunq because of its shorter top tube, but I would have probably been fine with a 62. On my bike the seat and bars had to go up quite a bit to make the 58 fit with drop bars (I could send you a pic if you'd like).

Just to weigh in - I have a 93.5 cm PBH, and the 62.  I don't think it would be comfortable at all if I had a 91cm PBH.  Particularly if you plan on running fat tires.  I would most definitely go with the 58 if I were you.

My PBH is somewhere between 91.5 and 92. My 62 Hunq has a mid TT height of 90 cm with 700 x 47 Schwalbe Marathons. I debated whether to go with a 58 or a 62, like you are. Very glad I went bigger. Don't forget that PBH is measured in bare feet and you ride with some kind of shoes on, usually adding about 2.5 cm to your available TT clearance.

HI there,

I ride a 58 Hunqapillar. My pbh is 89.5. The bike shows a good deal of both seatpost and stem. It fits me well but sometimes I wish I had picked the 62. 

Here are some pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/olipop/sets/72157629178679321/

The ride is formidable and you'll love whatever size you end up picking.

Here's a few quick pics of my 58 hunq with the seat set at about 81cm. My PBH is 91.5. Lots of clearance for trails, probably could have gotten a 62 if it were mostly for roads.
