I'm the OP, and I take NO offense at the wieght weenie jabs!
It may be of interest to know why I asked, and its not because I was
looking for a light-weight ride. I have a black '92 Bridgestone MB-6,
and I compared the geometry to the Hunq and found that they are very
similar with 2-3
Wow, I started a thread and it went into flames...how entertaining!!
The OP not offended, so this is fun to watch. ;-)
I asked the question because I can't afford a Hunq right now. So... I
have have been building my '92 Bridgestone MB-6 as a poor man's Hunq.
I compared frame dimensions of both
Do you think they will be riding Rivs over?
I don't want a bike to have unnecessary weight, but also don't buy frames
and parts based on light weight. It certainly is a criteria to look at when
purchasing bike parts, but higher on the list in my opinion is strength and
how long the part is
My 54 frame fork and headset tipped over 9# on the bathroom scale when I
took it out of the box. Don't worry it's irrelevant, the bike is awesome.

I recently bought a 58 Hunq and the frame/fork/hs is about 9# on my
bathroom scale. Just received the wheels today (from Rich at Riv) and am
looking forward to finally building it up!

I know you're joking but I think this thinking is as silly as being a
weight weenie.
If you don't care about weight at all ever you will end up with a very very
heavy bike. Maybe that's OK for some people but for riding in a group in
hilly Seattle it's not fun.
Weight should not be something
Lighten up, (get it, lighten up, haha) But seriously, its not like its a
sold steel chinese delivery bike, I wouldnt describe the hunq or even the
bomba as very very heavy Stout yes but not like a lead weight beneath
you. Like so many things in life this is subjective, I rode a heavy mtb

Actually I'm pretty skinny and my Dr has told me I shouldn't lose weight.
This is the kind of jib I was talking about. Sometimes the crowd here can
be as bad as weight weenies. Just relax and let people ask how much a bike
weighs. It's a perfectly normal question that doesn't
You are right, Tony my LBS guy is pretty mean, but we are all Italians in
Bay Ridge Brooklyn and can take having someone bust our chops about
something. Its when you cant take a joke that things get mean in our
culture, you should hear my mom curse out my dad, hahaha. I have taken

The great thing about weight is that although ones opinion about the
weight of a frame (eg is it heavy of not) is strictly subjective, the
actual weight is a purely objective repeatedly measurable quantity. If
somebody I don't know says a bike is very very heavy I don't really
have any idea what
Homeland security is on the way to my house as I have obviously
