Hi! This may prove to be an important fact. If the eff top tube on the 62cm Hunqapillar is actually 3cm longer than that of my Hillborne, then I will not get a 62cm Hunqapillar without straddling it first. I don't think I'd have a problem with the 1.5cm difference listed in the geometry page. But 3cm sounds longer enough to demand a test.
Thanks! I now know that, at the very least, I need to confirm the published numbers.

My saddle height is 79cm or thereabouts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
