@Kim Great question! Reach is longer, wheelbase is shorter, standover height is lower, and the wheel size being 700c versus 650b is preferred for me. I'd be lying if I said that rarity of these frames, logo/headbadge, and color all didn't play a factor as well. Every Riv frame I've owned has had magic in it in one way or another, but the Hunqapillar has the most things going for it that I'm looking for with my riding, and my own bodily proportions.
