[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.

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?

[Deacon Patrick]

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,
Patrick

For reference, here is a 54cm.

[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.

[RBW] Re: New Hunq 650b

['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.
