[RBW] Re: Was the Hunqapillar designed for Albatross bars?

2020-07-16 Thread Joe Bernard
The Hunqapillar was/is a trail bike, in current Riv parlance a Hillibike. As 
others have noted no specific type of bar was promoted as ideal, but the Nitto 
Bullmoose emerged around the same time and seems to work well with that frame.

FWIW I bought a Hunqapillar around 2013 or so and Brian (former Riv 
mechanic) steered me to the Albastache bars which are fairly aggressive. I 
was concerned about it being to aggressive but with a short stem and a high 
position it felt natural and I like it. I played around with a few 
different bars after that but went back to Albastache ultimately. I sold 
the bike in 2016 or so though.

The Bosco Bars came the year following the Hunq.  I bought my Hunq, rode it 
for a year and ABSOLUTELY had to have a lighter version of the same 
geometry, so I ordered a Hillborne.  The first Bosco shipment was coming at 
the same time as my Hillborne frame so I added those to the order.  After 
riding the Hillborne with the Bosco's and the Hunq with wide drop bars for 
a season, I added Bullmoose Bosco's to the Hunq and lived happily ever 
after.  The Bosco's absolutely confound club riders when they see my 
Hillborne at charity rides, it's hilarious.

Hi John

Here's the Hunqapillar page I found on Wayback Machine. I hope the link 
works.
Hunqapillar page on Riv website 


I don't know how Wayback Machine works; frames should have been grey/red at 
the time this page was archived, but pictures shown here are the new green 
ones.
Anyway, the 7th paragraph says "Every bar in the world is suitable for the 
Hunqapillar, so put on what you like."
And if you scroll down (a bit above geo chart), they say:
"Which handlebar?
This is the hardest decision you'll make, because every option makes sense."

I remembered these words well because I read this page over and over when I 
was contemplating which model I should buy.

[RBW] Re: Was the Hunqapillar designed for Albatross bars?

2020-07-13 Thread Ryan M.
I remember the Bomba being marketed pretty heavily with the old style 
mustache bars, which I'm sure would work great on a Hunq frame too. 

I was very close to buying both a Bomba and a Hunq at different times and 
did a bunch of research about those frames (I still think the Hunqapillar 
headbadge is the best headbage) and the handlebar I always thought I would 
stick on it would be the Bullmoose bars. I never did pony up the cashola to 
get one of those frames and instead wound up now with an Appaloosa with a 
Bullmoose bar. Lol.

  Hi Garth, 

   Thanks, but I believe Rivendell is overwhelmed & understaffed these days 
as they struggle to manage their business in the middle of this pandemic. I 
doubt Grant has time right now conversations about the geometry of a bike 
he stopped making years ago. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not going to bother 
him.

   I was just hoping someone here in the group had some insights into the 
Hunqapillar's geometry.

It's all good John, we're all here to shoot the breeze about bikes !  

As I recall, and you know how recollections can go  The Bomba was 
apparently, according to Grant, one of if not the most expensive Riv frames 
to build. The H frame is a response to make it more appealing costwise for 
more riders. Yes, the geo changed somewhat, less stack and reach, but the

Hi Garth,

I apologize, my post must have been as clear as mud. I'm not asking for 
handlebar recommendations. And I certainly don't want to be told what to 
do. I sincerely apologize if my post was offensive. 

Right now I'm super happy with my Albatross bars & 12cm Nitto NP stem. 

I'm just trying to understand, if there is anything to understand, why the 
Hunqapillar. According to Grant, the Bombadil was actually a little bit 
different that the Hunq, having a taller head tube.

Again, my apologies,

2020-07-13 Thread Garth
 

   The Hunqapillar was/is a lower-cost substitute for the Bombadil, which 
wasn't designed for any particular bar, the initial prototypes used both 
drop bars and moustache bars. Regardless of the frame and it's relative 
reach you just can't limit it to any particular bar, not even the designer. 
There are infinite body types and preferences. Whoever thought in the late 
70's you'd ever see those early mountain bikes being ridden with drop bars 
? Who imagined a vintage racing/touring frame being used with swept back 
bars ?   
 
   So the best bar is whatever works for you. I realize some people want to 
be told what to do, and for those there's endless people to tell you, each 
with their pet set of relatives/isms/theories/beliefs. Others prefer, if 
not must, find out for themselves "what's it all about ?" , what works with 
a given frame at any given time. Like a "hunq" of clay for the potter. 
Again,  such is Infinite, pure creativity, and such is Life !

way back on a lugged seat post.

  I thought remembered trying out the Bullmoose Bosco bars at Riv back in 
2013, so I double checked my memory on the Internet Way Back Machine, and 
Bosco's, Bullmoose Bosco's, Dove bars & and Albatross bars were all in the 
2012 Riv catalog when I ordered my Hunqapillar. I wouldn't trade my Hunq 
for anything, but it seems like somewhat of an outlier in Rivendell design 
geometries, and was trying to understand why.

Happy but puzzled,

John
