Just a modest proposal: throw caution to the wind and with blithe abandon resign your Hunq to the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune (hmmm ... slipping into blank verse). Seriously. In '06 I began to reproach myself that my '03 custom was hanging on the wall gathering dust while I rode beaters to work, at least 75% of my miles. So I had a local builder convert it to fixed (horizontals, move the seatstay bridge, remove the dt shifter braze ons) and it became the bike I rode most. The most, and very, recent rehab had further practical braze ons added.
For 2 years, off and on, I put this bike on bus bike racks and it suffered a few scuffs but nothing serious; and, point being, I rode it -- that is, I put my miles onto a bike I loved instead of a bike that I tolerated. The most recent rehab included a powdercoat: powder instead of fancy paint because I want the bike to continue its role as a user, not an exhibit.
