Thanks, James!
Yeah, I know that I am indeed lucky to have a wife with an appreciative eye
for these details. My wife actually had her eye on the Hunqapillar, way
before I ever test rode any of their bikes. But, she already got a Betty
Foy mixte and a Quick Beam ss, and loves both of
Hi Joe,
I'm glad that my Hunqapillar inspired you to swing by Riv HQ for more
in-depth ogling. LOL
I agree with Jim- That Rivendell would provide those fork crown rack
attachment points on the Hunq, speaks to the great versatility that Riv
wants the Hunq to avail its owner. Seems quite a
I've seen several Cielos, but never ridden one. They are very very
nicely made and finished machines. Just beautiful.

Thanks everyone! Just what I wanted: some good old opinions. I love
the color too. By the way, I'd be looking at the 54 as I am 5'9 and
so the 26in wheels are out of the mix.
I think the Hunk is the one for me. The Sam looks nice too but the
stoutness of the Hunk really appeals to me. But
Fighting words! The most beautiful paint job on a a bike is the original
Orange Rambouillet. It was a unique and gorgeous shade of orange with a cream
head tube.I also like the paint on the Atlantis, it is good looking, it has
been the only stock color of the bike since it went into
All other differences aside, I think some folks would prefer the
single top-tubed Atlantis over the Hunq simply based on asthetics.
That is a perfectly resonable feeling. It took me a while, but I have
come to like the double-tube.

I agree. I was too late in drinking the cool aid and got the green Rambouillet,
so when I ordered the Homer I had it painted the original Ram orange.

For some reason, I somewhat like the diagonal tube on the Hunq, while the
parallel tubes on the Homer, etc, are a non starter for me. I don't really
care for the full distance diagonals on the Bombadil, either... but lately,
the Hunq is kind of preying on my mind.

Sweet. I forgot about the Green Rambo that jade green was almost as good as
the orange.

I've had the same problem. I contacted Phil Wood by email and I've
pasted the response below. Unfortunately I still couldn't get it to
work with these instructions. I just put it back together and kept
riding, though I will eventually need to replace the bearings. It has
been a few months
Yep, bar tube works gret.

James, you could order a custom Rivendell and spec it with 135mm horizontal
dropouts. I did that with my custom all-rounder. Every once in a while, I
swap out all the parts to make it a single. However, I like your idea... so
much so, I came up with something to satisfy that itch: Linky Link
Many Sturmey Archer IGH's are designed around the traditional oln of
120mm, making them easy to swap in to bikes like the Quickbeam. In a
few minutes time one could change out a single speed rear wheel with
an SA RF8 8-speed wheel/cable/shifter unit.

Happy owner of a 54cm Hunqapillar, here. The only reason I did not get an
Atlantis is that I needed larger tire clearances. Either bike is sturdy
enough for any reasonable use, and I like the more classic looks of the
Atlantis. My Hunq is a nice looking bike, but it's also a strange looking
Yea I guess I am saying a lighter rider/load would do fine on an

guess it does take wider tires. The larger frames having the
additional tube would be stiffer also which would help on a heavily
loaded bicycle. I myself prefer the

How light a rider and load are we talking about here? I'm confused because

Hi Brian,
Congrats on your new(+2 mths) Hunqapillar! Great pic!
I recently got my Hunqapillar, too, and love riding it, though on far more
civilized roads(black top and other smooth paved) than you've been.
The Albatross bar's a great bar. My wife has one on her Betty Foy and loves
it.
