[RBW] Re: A Hunq

Not that it really matters, but that is a Taiwan frame, the Waterford built have different lugs on the head tube as well as a different paint job. Waterford only did one initial production run, so, unless that is a custom order, it was built in Taiwan. Marc On Monday, December 6, 2021 at 7:56:2

I thought Hunq frames were Waterford and forks were Taiwan? Doesn't really matter. A Hunq was my first Riv and I really regret selling it, though at the time I needed a good road bike more than I needed the Hunq. On Wednesday, December 8, 2021 at 9:30:01 AM UTC-5 Marc Irwin wrote: > [image: IMG

No John, I ordered from the first Taiwan production, Riv screwed up and sold mine to somebody but offered the one Waterford 54 left. I got one by accident. As far as I know the rest were made in Taiwan. Not that it matters, it's the same incredible bike except for the pointy lugs and pain

[RBW] Re: A Hunq

The fenders are pink! They are planet bike and I don't think they are in production anymore. The rack mounted really easily. The side mounts move vertically so they are easy to line up with the brazeons. It is a heavy rack but pretty bombproof. It can fit a Wald 139 on top with two bags.
