That's a great looking bike!   Looks like you got the perfect fit with 
it. Those pictures make me want to go for a ride around your area, what 
great views!

Well done!  The bike looks terrific, and the unpacking / assembly
photos are cool.  It's fun to see the progression from bubble wrap &
zip ties to parts installed, then the bike on the road.  Hey, I didn't
get one of those cool tags on my Atlantis!  Of course, it was a while
back...a long while.

Enjoy!

I had a few moments with the diag-tube back when it was introduced but when
I saw the actual bikes at RBW (and test rode them) all doubts disappeared,
hence the Hunq.

And yeah, it's sweet. Maybe the color should be called 'sweet pea.' :-)

The 62 fits me really well, but I've got a 96 PBH so... :-)

I'm already looking forward to a ride tomorrow.

Sweet bike, I like the new green!

I'm between a 54 and 58 but think the 58 would be a better fit.  If I

Believe it or not, we don't get much twilight here. Within 30 minutes of
those photos it was getting near dark. I would have needed the light to
make all the images I wanted of unboxing, building, first ride, and so on.
And, knowing myself well enough, I left things in the box so no shiny bits
rolled away.

Indeed though, no shiny bits could get away. In the years since I got my
Quickbeam the packing skills at RBW haven't lessened a bit. The bike was
superbly packedvery, very safe and stable.

After morning errands I got to work on unpacking and within a couple of
hours (I'm slow and made images) I had a beautiful, and I mean beautiful
Hunq put together.

I should mention that because I had the bike built for me, all I really had
to do was hook up the brakes, put in the stem, tighten the handlebars in a
reasonable position (amazingly I got it really comfortable on the first
try), put on the front fender and rack, add a saddle (Brooks B-17 Select),
screw on some pedals (the new Gripsters - great pedals really), and ride
off.

Wow. Because I've got a couple of other bikes around I was actually able to
dial in the saddle after about 3 blocks. Then it was off for an around the
city waterfront ride. True it's all flat, but it's my city and I'll be
riding these roads a lot

So yes, it's afternoon and I'm back.

I hate to say this but when I first got my Quickbeam I thought it was the
best bike I'd ever ridden. Up to that point I was right. The Hunq is even
better (or maybe it's because it's new, eh?).

It really is a superb bike though. While I definitely want some 50mm tires
soon, the 38mm's were super on city streets with plenty of air to keep me
comfy.

The Alba bars were a gamble for me. I'd ridden a Hunq at RBW back in May
and hadn't completely cared for them, but since they were part of the build
kit I figured I could swap later.

Nope, I love 'em. Wow. Yes, this bike is comfortable.

I stopped to make some images here and there...a wee bit of bike porn...and
continued around the city. I also stopped for an iced coffee because isn't
that really what a weekend is about? Riding and leisure. You just can't do
better.

I did manage to find a few patches of rougher stuff to ride on, a gravel
filled alley, a cut across a park on a crushed coral path, a bit of grass,
and the Hunq handled it all very nicely. The Alba bars gave me lots of
control and the geometry of it all kept me comfortable. More wow.

I really like the bar end shifters as I mostly forget they are there and
don't shift too much. :-)

Then it was home as I've got to clean up and go out with a friend for
dinner and birthday celebration. All in all I think put in about 10 miles
on my first ride and a good one it was.

I've got much better images now, though I have to admit that the smiling
UPS guy really brightened my day yesterday. :-)

The photos are uploading right now to my Hunq set on Flickr. I don't have
time to label them all right now, but I'll get around to that later
tonight. In the meantime, enjoy...

Tomorrow I think I can get in a nice long ride and try her out on some
hills to see how I like gears you can change while riding. What a concept!

Aloha,

Bob

Robert:

TOO LATE IN THE DAY!  Those pictures were taken with plenty of
perfectly good daylight.  How could you not at least open the box?
That bike would have been all over my patio before the UPS guy had
started his engine.  Getting a new Riv is more exiting than Santa
Claus showing up.

OK, so you got it late on Friday & it's now afternoon there in Hawai'i
so I expect you're out riding your new bike.  Your initial ride report
is due to be posted yet today...remember: you are being watched!

We really are a bunch of dorks, getting excited about someone else's
new bike, looking a pix of the UPS truck arriving.  Maybe I should
think some more about that orange Ram in the Bay Area...
