Re: [RBW] Hunq and Hilsen on Ebay
OK, I have to say I'm tempted by the Hunq (extra diaga tube and all). But I'm a little confused by Riv's sizing recommendations. I'm 6'3 with a 91cm PBH/81 cm saddle height. I asked the seller, and he's almost my same size (6'3, 92cm PBH). Riv says: *58cm Hunqa: 87.5-93cm PBH (Saddle height 76-84cm, standover on biggest tire is 87.5cm) **62cm Hunqa: 91.5-100cm PBH (Saddle hight 82-90cm, standover on biggest tire is 91.5cm) *which would put me squarely on the 58. But then they go on to say: *Basically, the Hunqapillar is easy to size. Nine in ten riders can go by the following:* *Under 5' 6 : 48cm **5'6 to 5'8 : 51cm** 5-9 to 5-11: 54cm Long-legged 5-10 to 6-1: 58cm **Long legged 6ft to 6-4.4: 62cm * Which would put me on the 62. Any other data points out there? I'm concerned about the standover on the 62cm. I have a concern on the 36 standover with the 62cm. I mocked that up last night with my 62cm Crosscheck resting on a few pieces of wood, and it was tight!

Re: [RBW] Hunq and Hilsen on Ebay
OK, I have to say, I just remeasured my PBH using the pull it up until you see stars method (and a framing square), and came out to 93cm.

Re: [RBW] Hunq and Hilsen on Ebay
I guess it depends on what you want to do with it. Maybe the lack of standover isn't an issue, e.g. if you want it for touring. I have a 68 cm Bombadil with barely any clearance and it doesn't matter in the slightest for touring, commuting etc., but I've been ogling that 62 cm Hunq as a dedicated MTB with loads of standover (PBH 101 cm). Having said that, I think you'd better buy it to keep me on the straight and narrow... What do people think of the asking price ($1400)? I thought maybe it was a little high. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Hunq and Hilsen on Ebay
Not me. I'm not too disappointed, honestly. If it were a 58 in that color and condition, I probably would have hesitated less On Mar 3, 2013 9:08 AM, Tom Harrop twhar...@gmail.com wrote: Looks like it's sold, did you get it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Hunq and Hilsen on Ebay
I'm 6-3 with a PBH of 92 and my 62 Hunq fits perfectly for my tastes. With standard Schwalbe Marathons the measured stand over is 90 cm. I have at least an inch of stand over clearance wearing shoes. Some riders want more clearance, and others who might want to use their Hunq as a rough stuff mountain/single track bike with knobby tires want a smaller frame as well. RBW typically advises to go with a larger frame if in doubt. I haven't regretted that advice for a moment. I'd totally go for the custom blue ebay Hunq if I didn't have one already. Too bad that Hilsen wasn't a 65... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Hunq and Hilsen on Ebay
81 cm saddle height for me, 62 cm frame. I use the biggest tires it can take, 55's. I love the ride. It does border on the biggest bike I should sensibly ride.
