You may have called them just before a new shipment of the bags or

Since I had to go to a 113mm Phil BB for my Hunqapillar in order to be able
to install the 24/40 crankset, I have my 111 previous BB up for sale. It's
in excellent condition as these all are, and has low mileage overall,
certainly less than 1000 miles. I reused the cups, so I'm selling it sans

After changing the stem I had to re-tape my new-to-me Saluki bars. I had
some Cinelli cork tape of an appropriate color and decided to go ahead and
use it, although it wouldn't be my first choice. Which brings me to a

Did I miss something and do something wrong?
Yes, you did miss something. Mark does not start from the ends and meet at
the lever. He starts at the bottom of the drop and stops at the lever.
Then he starts again at the lever and finishes at the top.
That's the way I do it, also. The only

If plush means cushy, that comes mostly---I didn't say entirely---from tire
pressure. Any psi feels harder in a bigger tire than it does in a softer
one. A weight-on hands riding position accentuates pounding. We have a free

Who knows. I actually called a few days after the aforementioned RBW mass email

Hi all,
After spending all weekend in the delicious task of rebuilding my newly
painted Hunqapillar with its low trail fork, I'm happy to report that I'm
mostly done and share the photos that proved I worked hard and loved every
minute of it.
Pictures to prove it:
Fit, aesthetics, utility...pick any two!
I use the B67, too, and it does make saddlebags a pain in the arse. I never
strap around the seatpost.

I didn't like the Moustache bars when I first tried them. Painful for my

Really nice looking build, Rene! I love the pewter on the hunqa! Who did

I spent a long time deciding on the color scheme, particularly debating
between pewter and silver. Pewter ultimately won and I'm so glad I chose it.
Rick Stefani at DD did the paint job. He's local and Keven sent me there.
He paints a lot of the Rivendell frames.
