I wonder if my Hunqapillar might be a prototype, and that's what the "p" designates?
On Flickr, there are several photos of the 54 cm prototype, painted gray with orange head tube. The photos clearly show the pump peg painted gray, with white lining around it, which matches my bike. The only other gray/orange 54cm Hunq I'm aware of, has the pump peg the color of the head tube (ie, orange), as does every Hunqapillar, in any color, in a random sample from my collection of Hunq photos. The prototype has an orange ring at the bottom of the seat tube lug, while mine is a somewhat sloppy white. I have always assumed all of (very few) orange trim Hunq's came from that first batch. Maybe that is not the case. On Wednesday, April 7, 2021 at 12:42:33 AM UTC-5 Chris L wrote: > > I would be curious, as well.
