 Very nice bag, btw.

 While I was there, I got to take a spy shot of the new dual drive on
 the new Hunq:

 They're waiting for the left-hand derailer prototype before they hook
 it up. The new Hunq that they have is a 58, and rides sweet and
 strong.

 I also got a poor shot of the first Renovelo (the middle o is long)
 that you can see in the Flickr Riv group soon.

Wow! That looks so much better than I thought it would (the diagonal
tube).

[RBW] Re: New Rivendell dual drive and pics of New Hunq

2010-06-10 Thread Bill M.
At first glance I thought the mid-tube was a bit low, but add a frame
fit pump along the top tube and it should balance out about right.
I'd prefer this to the high-mounted parallel top tubes.

I only see one set of bottle bosses, on the down tube.  I'd guess the
mid-tube would get a second set of bosses?

2010-06-10 Thread Jim M.
Like William said, the totally symmetric hub will add strength, a dual
drive will deliver more torque for heavy loads, and you have a
redundant system in case you break a derailer in the middle of
nowhere.  ;-)


Actually, they slapped it together with what they had lying around. I
didn't ask why they had 2 drive arms and no left arms.
