Rivendell's Hunqapillar page describes the 62 as working for PBH's up to
100 cm. But it also says if you're in the high 6' range, to go with a
Bombadil (or Atlantis, I'd presume).

Thanks, guys, the bike is a hoot! Maybe stem shifters are under appreciated,
especially in cases when barends are just a little too close to the knees.

Indeed! The 62cm Hunq's TT is long as it was designed around a bullmoose,
albatross, or any other bar other than the noodle which is why you often see
them with 130 technomic stems on Riv employees Hunqs. My picture shows my
original setup with bullmoose which I didn't care for due to wrist

Oh man, I test rode and wanted THAT bike. Even though it was a transitional

I'm glad I had a tiny part in getting you to try those stem shifters. I
think that setup looks great. There are certain Riv setups that just look
right, once you see them, and that setup is one of them. It looks right.
That's not to say that barcons or thumbies or DT shifters are any less

for me, but Keith's recollection makes me curious.

Early Riv readers had some space for tales of bike maintenance screw-ups. Those
were fun to read. One story had a crank arm getting its threads stripped, but
it HAD to be removed from the frame so the mechanic eventually had to hacksaw
through the spindle of a nice BB to get the cranks off.
I got a red Spokey spoke wrench recently. Best spoke wrench ever. Much more
precise than even the nice green Park. Sharp, good contact and grip even on
rounded nipples.

I like this. Right hand pedal has a right hand thread, so if you attach a
pedal wrench to the right hand pedal and think of that wrench handle as a
crank arm, you BACKPEDAL to loosen. You also backpedal with

I used a similar approach to mount a Mark's rack on my Bombadil, but rather
than put an s bend in the short struts I just used a single kink in a short
straight strut that made them about horizontal. It worked fine, but with

Especially with bikes such as Rivs that have fine paint jobs, always be
sure to have a lot of work rags nearby. Put the rag over the tubing near
where you are twisting, pulling, pushing or whatever it is you are doing
with a steel tool that is a sworn enemy of paint.
