I've been wanting a Hunq. For some time & I would probably be close to pulling the trigger before 2019, but I am intrigued by this latest development.
I too would dig the idea of threadless 1 1/8" steerers,Disk brakes & even thru axels on my Riv; not so much because I prefer them, but because that's the nature of the bike world right now. I recently rehabbed an old Raleigh Mountain Tour & everything about it was a headache. Finding economical 650B rims for rim brakes was a trial & I eventually gave up & bought VO's. $69. Each, but I could have gotten nice disc brake rims for $40. :-( If Rivendell is going to build a Plus tired mountain bike they would either have to have a rim made (read: proprietary) or go with a preexisting rim, most of which are disc specific these days. If Rivendell bucked the trends in the past in favor of the the tried & true, now they would be doing the opposite. Why create some sort of new retro standard!? All that said I'll most likely say "here, take my money" when this mystery bike comes out and deal with the eccentricities as they come. That or buy a Crust. Still, in the context of other things & other models, it's perplexing. I'll probably be in Walnut Creek the second week of August so maybe I can check out this mythical beast -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
