Hey all, I’m looking for a 62cm Hunqapillar frame and fork. I only want the frame and fork. I don’t need any parts or a complete bike. I’m looking for a Waterford produced Hunq. Paint condition doesn’t mater, though I’d prefer something that doesn’t have nice paint. I’m planning on doing

Re: [RBW] Handling Effects of Shorter Stems (from the OT discussion in a previuos post on the New Sams in Sept)

I think there's more psychology involved in what we think a bike is "supposed" to look like than we admit to. If my brain thinks a long-ish 7-shaped stem is the right way to run a dropbar, I'm liable to think a short stem handles weird because the look convinces me it will handle weird. --
