[J J]

Thanks Eric and Jim! Will's blog post was the first I saw of the full paint 
job and the build. Up to yesterday afternoon I had only seen a few low res 
teaser images, so I've been soaking in Will's fantastic photos. I'm blown 
away by the care and detail of Rick's paint job. I had told Rick that I 
hope he has fun with the bike, and it feels like he did. And Antonio did 
such a clean, lovely build. Thanks Antonio! I can't wait to see the bike in 
person. And to ride it!

@Jim, the blue ring around the pump peg really got me, too, as did the 
lining around the top and bottom of the head tube and the little circle 
cutouts in the fork crown. Incredible detail and beyond what I was 
expecting.

@Eric, thanks for the kind words. I can see the deep rusty pink tones now 
that you mention it. Like I said in the writeup, copper is super tricky. 
There are so many colors posing as copper! You've got a great eye about the 
lime 
green Newbaum's with amber shellac. I went back and forth on tape and Will 
urged the lime. I'm stoked about how it turned out. 

This project has been a long time in the making. Everyone I worked with, 
directly and indirectly — Rick on the paint, Rich on the wheels, Will and 
the entire Rivendell crew on everything else — was super welcoming, 
accessible, and engaging. And they made the entire process a lot of fun, 
which above all is what bikes should be about as far as I'm concerned.

If someone has to have pink fenders, there is this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/265580783485?hash=item3dd5d9277d:g:RqAAAOSwS0diI8T7

I have no affiliation with the sale, but I remembered spotting them while I 
have been searching for 2 sets of the old beige SKS fenders that are also 
no longer in production.

[RBW] Re: A Hunq

[Dave Grossman]

The fenders are pink!  They are planet bike and I don't think they are in 
production anymore. 

The rack mounted really easily.  The side mounts move vertically so they 
are easy to line up with the brazeons.  It is a heavy rack but pretty 
bombproof.  It can fit a Wald 139 on top with two bags.  I haven't been 
bikepacking on it with the rack but I plan on trying it out in the next 
couple of weeks.  I've normally just used a basket but I really want to try 
the panniers.

Beautiful bike, Dave. How did the Surly rack work with the Riv fork? I was

Oh my goodness!!  Where did you get the pink (or lavender?) fenders, Dave 
and what brand are they?  They're perfect with the dark green (and would 
look great on my dark green Clem).  Nice touch with the matching brake 
cable color.  It's all so perfectly complimentary.

Johnny - can you tell me about your frame bag?  Custom, I assume?  I'm 
about to make one for my 62cm Hunq and am debating whether to do one zipper 
like yours appears to be or two horizontal zippers with a divider.  My main 
use will be for storing tent poles and fly rods. (Plus a frame bag just 
looks perfect in that top triangle!)

 the same as yours, but the lower one is different.  I thought the orange 
 ones all came in one batch, but maybe that's not the case?

Re: [RBW] Re: A Hunq

[Adam Moss]

I have a 53cm Hunq. I believe it's the most recently built Hunqapillar, 
built in 2019 by Steve Rex in Sacramento as a kind of one of 
thing- https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGJjRtn1ED/

It's a bit of an amalgamation of some of their most recent frame designs 
and I'm just smitten. It's become my only bike (other than the FS MTB and 
the family hauler) and I am never left wanting. The Hunq owners club is a 
good one to be a part of.

Re: [RBW] Re: A Hunq

[Geir Bentzen]

I have a 62 cm green Hunq that I bought from Riv in 2014. I believe I was 
told the frame came from Waterford at that time. Ordered in April 2014 and 
delivered July 10. I have Nitto Noodles on and use the bike as much as 
possible. It's a pleasant ride, though I may change the Noodles out to 
something more upright as I grow older. I am in my early sixties already.

Re: [RBW] Re: A Hunq

[Michael Williams]

I believe Rivs last run of Hunqs( Green) looked like a great bike but they did 
a really short run of them.The chainstay was an in between length( 49cm) of 
earlier Rivs and the current longer stays.  It had less BB drop ( 71mm) and a 
decent stack/ reach ratio where drop bars were a little more feasible.  And it 
was offered in 700c and 650b in the 59cm size which was pretty neat. And 
possibly( I can’t remember)  no diagatube in the 59 size which turned some 
people off,  not me though. Another run of Hunqs would probably get a lot of 
interest.-Mike

[RBW] Re: A Hunq

['Gary L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I've got a 2015 grey/kidney bean 58 hunq that I bought new and I'm sure 
that one was built in Taiwan. I remember cause I was talking to Grant when 
I ordered it and he assured me the quality was equal to the Toyo-built 
bikes. It's still a great bike - wherever it came from!

[RBW] Re: A Hunq

[Joe Bernard]

Ah, that makes sense. I didn't remember that any Hunqs were built in Taiwan 
but I do remember the first couple runs being priced that way..it was 
originally the way-cheaper version of Bombadil.

[RBW] Re: A Hunq

['John Phillips' via RBW Owners Bunch]

My 54cm Hunq was built in 2013, and I thought I was told it was being built 
by Waterford, but I don't see a "W" in the serial number. Maybe I'm 
misremembering, or maybe I need new reading glasses?

+1 on never selling my Hunq, it's perfect for me. I can't see how anyone 
can use bars that come back farther than Albatross bars though. I need to 
use a 12-13cm stem with Alba's or I suffer from claustrophobia, even when 
using a lugged seat post.

[RBW] Re: A Hunq

[Drw]

I think the first run or 2 is as the hunq brochure describes. They then 
moved to waterford and used taiwan made forks. I think thats when it 
switched to green but I can't confirm that. Tubing also became true temper 
ox/plat at waterford. Somewhere in my emails i have a list of all the 
differences between the first iteration and the second. I purchased a 
waterford back then, but was reading the brochure and trying to nail down 
exactly what i was getting.

Just to confirm what Marc is saying, this is from an Hunqapillar brochure 
:

"The Hunqapillar frame is an interesting mix of materials and people behind 
it. It's our design, everything down to the last micro-detail. It’s made in 
Taiwan by a team of builders trained by Tetsu Ishigaki, of Toyo. The main 
tubes are superexpensive Japanese Kaisei 8630 heat-treated. The seat- and 
chainstays are perfectly good Taiwan CrMo. The fork is made in Japan by 
Tetsu Ishigaki at Toyo."

Best,
Al in SF

My favorite head badge - with the Trilobites. My only disappointment with

[RBW] Re: A Hunq

[Marc Irwin]

No John,  I ordered from the first Taiwan production, Riv screwed up and 
sold mine to somebody but offered the one Waterford 54 left.   I got one by 
accident.  As far as I know the rest were made in Taiwan.  Not that it 
matters,  it's the same incredible bike except for the pointy lugs and 
paint.   I think all the forkswere made by Toyo of Japan.

I thought Hunq frames were Waterford and forks were Taiwan? Doesn't really 
matter. A Hunq was my first Riv and I really regret selling it, though at 
the time I needed a good road bike more than I needed the Hunq.

[RBW] Re: A Hunq

[Marc Irwin]

Not that it really matters, but that is a Taiwan frame, the Waterford built 
have different lugs on the head tube as well as a different paint job.
Waterford only did one initial production run, so, unless that is a custom 
order, it was built in Taiwan.

Marc, thanks for the report. I’m doing the same ride next month. I had a 
question about wild camping. I had considered getting a hotel room the first 
day when I arrive in Buffalo (my 20 YO son is dropping me off) would it be 
possible to find a spot to camp along the path not far from Buffalo? I just 
don’t have a good feel for where to set up camp along the way.

Indeed!  Going to use it as a daily commuter (18 miler R/T) and do some 
local mixed use trails.  I might even try the Barry Roubaix on it in March. 
 I am probably just going to use it for most riding as of now.  Bikepacking 
over the summer for sure.

Beautiful bike. Seeing a Hunq similar to that is what made me get really 
interested in Rivendells. I chose a Hilsen since it made most sense for me, 
but I'd love one of those someday.

Ha, Garth -- then I'll trade you that Bomba for the rusting out Magna

John G -- I never did a conversion but I moved through two Riv's (Bleriot & 
Slauki) onto Jeff Lyon's L'avecaise 650b model and I agree -- this 
configuration offers what feels like nearly the best of many ideas rolled 
into one (with easy option-able switch-outs) for our area.

[RBW] Re: Road Hunq?

[Garth]

   A bike is a bike is a bike is a bike, we all know this.  There are no 
limits to a bike, regardless of it's name, shape, color, and every and any 
concept of a bike.  Tàke all those 80's mtb's for example,  they were then 
and still are ridden everywhere on any surface, they too are just a bike, 
none came with  "self imposed restrictions" becàuse there never were any.  

   I ride my Bomba mostly on road, sometimes off. I don't have special 
tires for this or that condition, the tires are wherever I am, wherever I 
go, no big deal.  Are there better tires ?  In a given moment, and all I 
ever have is the given moment, no, there is not a better tire, ever, 
regardless of all the special nàmes, like super uber carcass, uber rubber 
and uber feel, etc. etc. , A tire too is a tire is a tire is a tire. Better 
in this case inferring  other-than what is here, which is double talk as 
here is here  and here isn't other-than here. 

Comparisons, relativities, weights and measures .  hmmm. I ask 
myself , of what foundation could anything be judged, weighed, measured or 
attributed to ?  This is an honest question of which I can find no answer 
to, nor has anyone else. A foundation to be true must be absolute, self 
apparent to everyone , incapable of being hidden, divided, split or 
separated. Literally, must be all being , Totality.

Re: [RBW] Re: Road Hunq?

[David Stein]

Somewhat related to John's story. I bought my Hunq to be a majority trail
bike with some roads (usually necessary to get to the trails in Oakland and
Berkeley). I've since picked up a Jones for most of my trail riding so the
Hunq, while initially a trail bike, is now mostly ridden on roads. It works
fine for roads though. I've tried to replace it twice with more 'road'
bikes: I briefly owned and sold a SH and I also recently bought an Ocean
Air Rambler to replace the Hunq since it's more of a trail bike and not
seeing so many trails. Lo and behold, I still grab the Hunq almost every
time (hence why I sold the SH, and why the Rambler isn't getting the action
I thought it would). Or rather I should clarify, I grab it every time
except for club ride type rides when my go to is my Gunnar sport. When I'm
by myself on primarily road rides, running errands, camping, or going on a
mixed ride I usually opt for the Hunq. With Rat Trap Pass tires it's rides
so smooth on the roads and handles almost any trail minus mud and super
sandy areas where you'd want tread.

Hi Jeffrey,

I've been debating a 650B bike--they feel made for our area. Do you have a 
new frameset, or did you convert an old bike to 650B?

Yeah, when I originally bought the Hunq, I had much better access to the 
rail trails of Northwestern NJ and Westchester County. I moved closer to 
NYC after I purchased the bike. Love it, but maybe not the best choice for 
NYC.

Hi John,
I don't know your bike but do know your roads -- and ride them daily. I'm 
on 650b rigs, primarily running Gran Bois or Compass 42's and Panaracer 
Pari Moto 1.75's. From all I've learned along the way -- lighter and more 
supple tires are really worth it for ride quality. It's likely why other 
contributors here favor the Thunder Burts and for sure it's why anyone with 
a bike that will fit them is curious about the new Compass 700c x 44's. I 
commute in Manhattan daily and ride River Road and points north as much as 
possible -- usually looking to climb and/or find any unpaved sections I can 
piece together on my loops in and out of the city. I own Bruce Gordon Rock 
and Roads and Sim Works Homage tires but only use them when I know I'm 
traveling to ride somewhere that the balance of paved vs. unpaved falls in 
favor of the latter. I don't get an unusual amount of flats in the city and 
almost never feel the need for tread/knobs. Were it me: I'd try those new 
Compass 44's and keep some knobs in reserve -- and I'd certainly shy away 
from thick tread, heavy tires -- at least for where we are.

[RBW] Re: Road Hunq?

[stonehog]

If I were buying strictly road tires for my Hunqa, I would go with the 
https://www.compasscycle.com/shop/components/tires/700c/compass-700c-x-44-snoqualmie-pass/
 
tires mentioned above.  I have been riding the Thunder Burt 2.1 lites 
tubeless, and they are also amazing on the road, but there is some noise 
from the tread.  For me, they are perfect as a mixed road/gravel option, 
and since I generally use this bike as an all-rounder commuter/camper, I 
like to have some tread.

now and they still measure 41mm on rims as narrow as velocity twin hollows and 
as wide as the stock wheels that came with the complete Appaloosa. They ride 
really nice though and feel bigger than they are when riding through the ruts. 
I alternate between these tires and 2.1 Liteskin T-burts. Lately, when back on 
the Burts I pine for the Snoqs.

How wide did the Snoqs measure?..

I agree; I love Thunder Burts.  I have a set of 26 x 2.1" Liteskins on my
'88 Schwinn KOM.

The TBs feel about as fast as my Schwalbe Super Moto tires, which are about
95% as fast as the best supple tires I've ridden (Pari-Moto, GB Cerf,
Lierre, Compass Stampede Pass).

What makes the Thunder Burts exceptional is that they're fast, but they
still have a reasonable amount of tread for occasional dirt wanderings.
Mine feel great on a local lazy singletrack. The TBs have great cushion and
enough traction; they only get squirrely if the trail is muddy.

Whereas, the Super Moto and Compass RTP tires have no tread.  I washed out
the front Super Moto tire a couple times on twisty singletrack.  The SM and
RTP are great for gravel and pavement, but not dirt.

[RBW] Re: Road Hunq?

[dstein]

I run Rat Trap Pass tires on my 26" hunq, alternating between that and some 
2.1" smart sams. Mostly it's pavement this day with some trails mixed in. 
Albastache bars (which I've tried to replace with no less than 3 other bars 
and always go back to albastache - including dirt drops, jones, and map 
bars), but the Albastache's for me are the sweet spot and an important 
determination along w/ the tires for what kind of riding you do on the 
bike. 

It's a stouter, heavier bike for sure. But I find I go just as fast as any 
other rivendell or similar bike I've had. Nowhere near as fast as my go 
fast gunnar road bike with a light wheelset and 33mm compass tires, but 
compares pretty well to everything else I've ridden.

[RBW] Re: Road Hunq?

[Shoji Takahashi]

My 48cm Hunqapillar has 26" tires. Most of my miles are commuting miles 
(Boston-area streets). I have Rat Trap Pass on it now-- fast tires on and 
off road. I probably run them with more pressure than Compass would 
recommend, but I've gotten more than a few pinch flats after hitting deep 
potholes. 

I've used Compass 26x1.5 before RTP came out. Those were nice and fast too. 
TBH, it looked strange with all the clearance!

I've also used Big Bens. Those were very good, too-- felt fast, but not as 
fast, as Compass RTP or 26x1.5. I think for the money and my use case 
(commuting on streets, some in poor condition), Big Bens are as good, 
perhaps better, than RTP. 

Good luck!

My mileage commuting is on pavement, but touring and recreational is split 
between
Pavement, gravel and trails.  I really like the 50 mm Big Ben's for everything. 
I only use the Hunq part of the time for commuting because it's one of two 
bikes I have with dyno lights.

Most of the miles I put on my Hunq are on pavement. I'm using Schwalbe 
Little Big Bens. They are 700x38 - I like 'em, they're okay on the pavement 
but work fine on gravel roads. The bike feels lively and I have plenty of 
room for fenders.

[RBW] Re: Road Hunq?

[Garth]

  I have used Vittoria Hypers 40/38 on my Bomba , which I ride mostly on 
pavement, but I don't hesitate to ride it anywhere when I feel like it 
regardless of the tire. That'd be the minimum tire I'd ride with it, the 
Hypers also don't have alot of volume for their width.  I've not ridden 
Compass tires so I can't help you there, but if I were to I'd get that new 
44mm one and not a Barlow pass.  From reports I have seen here it's not 
really 44mm wide either, but regardless you will get notably more volume 
than the Barlow without any compromise. I'm currently riding some 
43mm(actual) Kenda EZ ride tires on my Bomba which is good enough for me.

[RBW] Re: Road Hunq?

[Kevin Lindsey]

John -
Most of my riding is on pavement; depending on my commute, about four miles 
may also be on the packed clay and gravel of the local tow path.  I started 
out with 50mm Schwalbs on my Hunqapillar; the ride was great, the gravel 
felt like pavement, the pavement felt like silk, etc.  Unfortunately, I 
simply couldn't keep the rear tire inflated - there was something stuck in 
there that neither I nor the LBS could find and that continued to puncture 
my tubes - so in frustration I ordered a pair of Compass 38mm Barlow Pass 
tires from Compass bikes.  The ride is great, they make the Hunq look a 
little bit less like a tank, and feel a bit faster (latter consideration is 
purely subjective).  They work very well on the tow path and, as I don't 
intend to ride my Hunq off-road, I plan to stick with the 38s.
Hope this helps.
Kevin

FWIW I have the 8-pack rack installed on my Surly Troll and it sits about 4
inches above the tire. The Troll certainly has different geometry than a
Hunq, though it doesn't particularly like a lot of weight loaded on the
8-pack rack sitting that high.

[RBW] Re: New Hunq 650b

[iamkeith]

I'm with you, Bill.  But based on those other rumored sizes, it sure seems 
promising that a 56 or 57 might be in the works.  I've complained so loud 
and for so long about that size being missing (I even had a pre-sale locked 
in when the model first came out, but backed out over concerns), that I'm 
afraid I'll have no choice but to put my money where my mouth is and buy 
one.   Looks like I need to think about selling some bikes...

Brings up a question for you, specifically, though:  As you'll remember 
helping me analyze, I felt like I had the exact same 
falling-in-between-sizes issue with the 55 & 58 Appaloosas. But in that 
case I think I'd have leaned toward the larger one, with the bike being 
slightly more road than trail oriented.   How come you got the 55, and what 
do you think of the fit, now that you have it?  

Regarding the Hunqapillar, the increased clearance news is good to hear 
too!  I suppose that if they didn't increase that, but DID lengthen the 
chainstays even more, it would start to have too much overlap with the 
Appaloosa.  This keeps it unique and even more trail-ready.   *One thing I 
really hope happens is longer fork legs!*   I don't know if this is for 
sure the case with the current Hunquapillar (maybe Patrick can comment) 
but, on my 700c Clem which supposedly has a Hunquapillar fork, the 
axle-to-crown height is far and away the most limiting dimension in terms 
of what size tire I can fit.  Especially with fenders.   Width could 
probably accommodate a 2.8" tire, but the height just barely takes a 2.3.

[RBW] Re: New Hunq 650b

[Bill Lindsay]

What will the sizes be?  On the instagram it claims to be a 53, and 
somebody asked about "the 59" like it's a think and Deacon says there is a 
60.  What are the nominal sizes?  I was kind of tempted by the Hunqapillar 
at times, and thought the 54 was a little small, and the 58 was a little 
big.  What's the next size up from 53?  What's the full size run?

I talked with Riv yesterday, and they said that the new 60 Hunqapillar 
would have about 3cm longer chainstays than my original geometry 62 
Hunqapillar. Sounds like it is mostly for increased tire clearance and 
won't be Appaloosa long.

With abandon,

[RBW] Re: New Hunq 650b

[Bob B]

I ordered a 58 Hunq in April after I caught wind of the impending 650b 
switch... I asked them on the phone and they (iirc it was Mark) said the 58 
would stay 700c.

['Chris Lampe 2' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Chainstays don't look any longer, which I thought was also coming on the 
Hunqs.  I hope RBW didn't size me out of the 650B Hunqs because I would 
prefer that over the 700c version.  53cm is definately too small and the 
old Hunq had pretty big jumps between sizes.

[RBW] Re: Share Hunq Build / pics and ideas?

[Shoji Takahashi]

Hi Kevin,
The fenders are VO Stainless Steel 60mm Fenders, 26" ATB. Good clearance 
with Compass RTP and Big Bens. (I haven't tried knobbies. The terrain that 
I ride doesn't require them.)

I have moustache bars on now. For me, it's a good compromise bar for 
commuting and riding with kids. I do miss the Noodles on the Hunq-- maybe 
I'll swap to them soon. 

Also-- the Noodles are great with a front basket. With my short headtube, 
the Moustache bar doesn't really work with front basket.

[RBW] Re: Share Hunq Build / pics and ideas?

[Kevin Lindsey]

I'm currently running drop bars on my Hunq and find they work very well.  I 
originally set the bike up with Mustache bars and a Dirt Drop stem; they 
worked wonderfully and were extremely comfortable, but they were ugly and 
slow in a high wind (due to the very upright riding posture).  Chiefly for 
aesthetic reasons, I therefore decided to go for drop bars (Nitto Noodles); 
I think a Hunq is much prettier in that configuration, it's easier to move 
in and out of crowded bike racks, and it seems to run a bit faster 
(although I'm willing to concede that any perceived increase in speed might 
be my imagination; even if not, the idea of using the words "Hunq" and 
"faster" in the same sentence seems somehow ungrammatical).  It feels as 
comfortable as it did with the Mustache bars and, on the whole, I'll 
probably stick to the drops.

[RBW] Re: Share Hunq Build / pics and ideas?

[Shoji Takahashi]

Hi Philip,
If the top-tube length is fine, you can certainly use drops. I had Noodles 
on my Hunqapillar-- love that set up (Wald basket in the space between on 
top of Nitto front rack, secured with zipties, natch).

Here's one from The Radavist (might have to click thru the pics to see the 
full view):

Enjoy the ride!

There are a few 31.8 clamp stems out now but mostly people just use quill -> 
thread less adapters.

[Philip Kim]

Thanks for the pics, I've definitely admired that Hunq.

Oh yeah, the Gravel and Grind dudes are the guys setting up my Hunq. I gave 
them my Jones bar set up, but after seeing James' set up I've been thinking 
drops might be doable. But he has a nitto dirt drop stem and dirt drop bars 
up high. I was thinking more of a roadie drop bar configuration with the 
Salsa Cowbells. I've tried dirt drops and I can't get along with them for 
some reason.

I just wasn't sure if the geo of the Hunq would mesh with drop bars. I 
might just go with the Jones, but might change it later in the summer. But 
pics are always still welcome.

I have a custom 31.8 custom quill stem.

I had a custom quill stem made by Clockwork Bikes, great stuff.

Here is another shot of the dirt drop Hunq, showing (I think) the IRD 
equivalent of the genavale levers/controls.

Just curious, how are you going to accommodate for the 31.8 clamp diameter 
(of both the cowbells and Jones bars) with a quill stem? If it's possible, 
I say Jones Loop all the way.

Here is a photo my friend Jay took of a couple of Hunqs with different set 
ups.. The bike on the right runs some type of dirt drop.

https://flic.kr/p/HyyYyE

I also was just in Gravel & Grind yesterday and saw a Hunq they are setting 
up with a Jones stem and Bar, and it looked great.

A 650b Hunq would be a HUGE temptation for me.
