I was just looking at the Gus geometry charts and noticed all of the bikes
are updated with 2019 charts. The biggest changes I noticed were in the
bikes I might be interested in purchasing, the Atlantis and the Appaloosa,
and the sizes have changed on both. I would have ridden a 56 Atlantis
Definately a trail bike! 70mm of BB drop for a 29 x 2.8 tire!

Am I reading that correctly, that a 57cm Gus has a 67.5 cm effective top
tube length? I thought the ETT has looked awful short in the photos I've
seen but maybe that's an illusion due to most having pullback bars.

I have a first batch Taiwan built gray 54 Hunqapillar and I think the only

I only have experience with one hand grinder (Hario Skerton) and the time
to grind gets exponentially longer the finer you are grinding.
Unfortunately, that specific model doesn't grind well for French press so
it's relegated to back-up status for the rare power outage.

I remember reading somewhere where Grant talks about putting the hole in
the fork crown in a different location (higher?) than most other bike
designers. I don't think there is any way the set-up of the blue bike with
a rack could work with the motolite on my Hunqapillar.

On mine, the tip of the frame holding the noodle is in front of the

For the kind of mountain biking a Hunqapillar can handle, the Jones Bar is
hard to beat. The angle is perfect and the 710 mm version has a ton of
hand positions you can use, depending on riding conditions. Also, the
Jones bar is the most confidence inspiring bar I've ridden. My Hunqapillar
I have a skerton and the glass jar is very thick glass and it is overall,
pretty heavy duty.
I rarely use my Aeropress so I don't know what size grind you will be
shooting for, but the Skerton does a good job for finer grinds. It's not
so good for courser grinds, like French Press.

The long Jones grips really make an already awesome bar even better. I
haven't used the black grips but the clear ones can get pretty slick when
they are wet. Something to keep in mind if this is an all-weather bike.

Roasting your own beans in a popcorn popper is very easy, although
depending on the popper, you may have to improvise to keep beans from
shooting out the top. It is a very fine line between "roasted" and
"charred" in a popper so you have to be very diligent.

I don't have any good photos yet of my Hunqapillar. This one has some
vertical distortion and the seat was actually up too high, but it's the

Despite being one of the very first Hunqapillars, the paint is almost

I discovered Rivendell in August 2011, via a comment on a forum concerning
a completely different subject. I think the first thing that caught my
attention was the beauty of the bikes and once I started browsing the
website and reading, Grant's philosophy resonated with me and reflected
much
I just noticed the Blug states that the silver/blue Legolas is the
second-to-the-last and they have one more set of decals left. Someone

The new Hunqapillar is sort of an anomaly. It was always RBW's true
expedition or off-road bike but the new versions actually have short
chainstays, compared to other new Riv models. I believe the 56 cm Hunq has
chainstays that are only 49 cm. I also believe that the Gus Boots-Willsen

That particular run of Rosco's really tempted me because it's an almost
