Hi Bill, As I've mentioned, I have 54cm Hunq, my PBH is 85cm, and I am 175cm tall. Saddle height (center of BB to top of saddle) is 75cm.
Picture of my Hunq with Noodle and Dirt Drop 8cm stem: https://www.flickr.com/photos/77318553@N08/8096995569/ The stem has an effect horizontal extension of 6 or 7 centimeters, and I feel comfortable with them. At first I had Dirt Drop 10cm stem; it made me feel a bit too stretched. I like handlebar to be high, which makes stem stick out pretty high, which in my opinion is not very cool-looking. I could have gone for 58cm frame, but then handlebar would have been too far away. Maybe you can find a stem with even shorter extension (5cm), but currently there is no such stem in Riv website. Bosco-bar with 13cm-extension stem: https://www.flickr.com/photos/77318553@N08/14771364047/ I like to ride bolt upright when on Bosco- or Alba- equipped bike, so again stem is sticking out high. Bullmoose: https://www.flickr.com/photos/77318553@N08/8690416089/ You can set this bar pretty high without showing much stem. I ride mostly on paved roads, sometimes unpaved roads. There are not many rideable trails around here (in Japan, "trail" usually means something like this <https://www.flickr.com/photos/77318553@N08/8740525489/in/photostream/>, or something even worse), so I don't have have many chances to ride on trails. Anyway, you can ride wherever you like on your Hunq with whichever handlebar you have. When I found rideable trail on my way, both Bullmoose and Albatross bars worked fine. Good luck!
