As you allude to, frame size (aka your size) comes into play here. My PBH
is 90 and I ride a 62 cm Hunqapillar on all kids of surfaces, to include
rugged single track, bike packing. And that's with Schwalbe Dureme touring
tires. I'll be trying out Smart Sams after St. Nick visits. Grin. I love
If you want to try out a M/L Rawland rSogn or a 56cm Bombadil, and are in
the Bay Area, you can look me up. I'm in El Cerrito.
Used rSogn's are not that uncommon. Visit the Rawland Google group
periodically and you'll get a chance eventually. Bombas are a lot less
common out there. If it we
S, you're making 60-62cm Saluki owners hold on tighter to their now
unobtainable non-custom bikes!

Just because I like playing around with BikeCad and I'm a fan of the
Hunqapillar, here's a rendering of a 54cm Hunq with 650B x 50mm tires.

Well, the Bikecad link goes to a different bike so I'll try a different
route:

I actually think on the 54cm Hunq the 650B looks more proportional than the
700c.

I wouldn't be opposed to ordering a Hunq, but asking for the canti-studs to be

There would be a lot more to it than just "lowering the canti-studs".
For those looking for a 650B bike that's bigger than 58cm, there's a 59
Bleriot on SF Craigslist.

+1 more... Between my 650b trek and 700c Atlantis I prefer the smaller wheels,
and the hetre's :)

If you were wanting to, say, take a 26" Atlantis to 650b (other than using
Motolites for Hetres as has been done), then yeah, you might have some
clea
Don't get me wrong, I think a 650B monster cross would be a great bike. I
own a 650B monstercross and I really like it.
My point is that a 700c Hunqapillar is already a 29er. It is made to clear
700x55 tires. The BB drop is correct for 700x55. Estimating that as a
366mm radius tire, if yo

Yep.Just wanted to make sure. Maybe since it's just not me, there'll be
more thought given to it. Keven and Grant have both discouraged talk about
650B conversions with the Hunq, for all the reasons Bill Lindsay laid out,
and then some. Take a look at the 52, 54 or 56 Bomb compared to similar

A 650b Hunq would be a HUGE temptation for me.
