[RBW] Re: Is the Surly Bridge Club a Disc-braked Hunqapillar?

Yes, it's not going to ride like a Riv. That's the (not)subtle geometry differences in effect. Does a LHT ride like an Atlantis? I doubt it. Functionally though, they're in the same ballpark. Chris, I'm curious how you can't get the same reach. Couple an uncut steerer with the currently

[RBW] Re: Is the Surly Bridge Club a Disc-braked Hunqapillar?

I should have noted that I prefer a long reach to the handlebar and the Hunq would have a cramped cockpit for me. I could make it work but it wouldn't be optimal for my preferences. I like a longer top tube with a shorter stem, rather than a shorter top tube with a longer stem. The former

But Rivs have a lot more stack, so you won’t have your Nitto stem at max height to get an equivalent bar height. I like Surlys, but I wish they designed their frames with a lot more stack—especially in my XL size. Eric On Wednesday, May 9, 2018, Christopher Cote

But aren't they marketing this as the "Canti-Sam"? It doesn't seem like a huge deal either way, but I'd expect at least a rear hanger on the bike. I suppose that if you do run it with V-brakes, you get slightly cleaner lines with no hanger. On Wednesday, May 9, 2018 at 8:22:33 AM UTC-7, Joe

I don't own a Riv but I have been researching and drooling over the Hunqapillar for about 8 years now and I'm also a Surly fanboy. I would say that functionally, the Bridge Club and 650B Hunqapillar are far more alike than they are different. The largest functional difference I see is

Low bottom bracket height, extended head tube and quill stem gets the bars to that height in a way more elegant way. And I am 100% for threadless and disc brakes, but the Surly and Hunq are just different. I don't think there's anything similar to the hunqapillar in the entire bike market right

I haven't used cantilevers in years and my least favorite part of my quickbeam is actually the attached cable stop haha. It adds money to frame cost to put it there and I'd bet Riv thought any one could source the hanger from a local bike shop. In any case if any one needs a rear one I should
