Hello Riv folk Hunq tribe.
Ant in Portland, here. Happy to say I'm the most excited owner of the
custom paint jobb'd 62cm 2012 Waterford Hunq (AKA The Silver Fox) that the
lovely Keith B posted FS a few months back. (The sideways picture in that
post did that paint job so little justice!!!)
Marc,
The hunq or Atlantis would be my ideal choice. One day I will most def have one
but for now any riv will do!

Sheldon's website knowledge astonished me when I first stumbled or was
directed there (can't recall how I found it). The depth of information and
clarity of presentation are of immense value. As always, Sheldon will be
missed by many.

From personal experience, the bean-colored era Hunqa can clear 2.25 front,
2.1 rear (Smart Sams). Green era Hunqa's I believe can do 2.25 front and
rear (but I don't have one of those so others will need to verify).

If you use wider rims, tires may rub your frame/fork.

Do you have fenders on the bike? If so, a Pixeo is perfect. Cheap, light,
small, bright. Mount it too the rear fender and run the wire inside the fender
with good tape.
If not, what kind of brakes are you using? You can often mount a light using
the canto posts or brake bolt.

Very cool bike. It's been cool to see how varied the Bombadil builds are.

Yo Manny, what about mounting a light on the seat stay eyelet? You would
have to run a wire along the frame, which is a hassle. Seems like the only
way, aside from drilling and running it internally.
