What if you had won the custom? What would that bike look like and what purpose
would it serve? Great strategic plans all start with a clear and compelling
vision of what you want at the end of the process. With a custom bike, you can
essentially dream up your ideal ride. Once you're clear
What an awesome gift, Liesl! Shoulda heard me woo-hooing in the lunchroom at
work when I read the Blug. Enjoy the process, I'll look forward to seeing it
someday. -Doug

I have the Ergon Biokork GP1 grips on my Alba-equipped Hunq,

classic-looking, but it has the cork vibe going for it. The grips are very
durable and super comfy for my hands. I never liked the fact that glued-on cork
grips are

My PBH is somewhere between 91.5 and 92. My 62 Hunq has a mid TT height of 90
cm with 700 x 47 Schwalbe Marathons. I debated whether to go with a 58 or a
62, like you are. Very glad I went bigger. Don't forget that PBH is measured in
bare feet and you ride with some kind of shoes on, usually

Probably depends on your level of assimmilation of GP's previous writings. If
you've been a loyal reader of his over many years I doubt you'll be shocked by
any new revelations, but it's nice to have his points of view distilled down
into a compendium that's easy to read and accessible. For
I just finished the book a couple weeks ago. Although it is a fascinating
story, I found some parts rather hard to believe. From what I know of
wilderness survival, it is nearly impossible for humans to survive 10 days with
no water as the author claims in the account of crossing the Gobi. No
I have the CX70s on my Hunq with no issues. Pretty straightforward to install
if you read the directions, but not exactly intuitive. Had a few problems with
squeeling, but hard to say if they're particular to this brake or attributable
to cantis in general - not enough of an expert to say for
I put mine in an Ikea frame, $20. The mat is not quite the right size, so I
might have that part redone. But the frame is of decent quality at a very

Congratulations, Zack! The Hunq's a gem. I've had mine for for a little
over three weeks now and I'm still riding around every day with a goofy
smile on my face. I get a lot of curious looks and many nice compliments.
I don't think folks in Minnesota have seen such a bike before, at least
I'm the guy in the blue shirt riding the Hunq with the Slickersack up front.
It was truly a memorable weekend - really great to meet Ted, Sean, Eric and all
the rest of the crew with special thanks to Jim for his excellent leadership.

Thought I'd share some details with the group of my new 62 Hunqapillar.
I've been commuting with it for a few days now and it's all I hoped it
would be. Feels like sitting in a big oak Morris chair, definitely the
most comfortable bike I've ridden. Pictures here:
Looking forward to the book signing and the rally. My new 62 Hunqa frame should
arrive within a week or so. I want to have it built up and ready to go for all
the festivities.
