Hi Bill,
Does 26er or 29er matter to you? That might persuade you to go one way or
the other.
My PBH is a smidge under 81cm (~170cm tall or 5'7"), and Riv recommends 48
or 51 for me. I went with 48cm-- plenty of stand-over clearance, which was
important to me for off-road riding. Also, I wante
I have a 54cm Hunq. My PBH is 84cm, and I am just shy of 5' 10". The
stand-over on the Hung was a little tight with 2.1" tires, but okay with
38mm Little Big Bens.
I have mustache bars on an 80mm dirt drop stem. The bike is very
comfortable, although initially I had some concern that the top tu
Another option could be what i did order a single top tube 52 cm Bombadil...I
loved the 650b, price was just a bit more than a hunqapillar...and I got to
pick the colordon't mean to complicate your choice but just something else
to consider.

My PBH is 85cm, and I have 54cm Hunq.

Takashi has a beautifully built Hunqapillar and takes wonderful pictures.
He's also a handlebar swapper, so it might give you a good look at various

yes, Trevor, with that picture you dang well complicated my decision making
process again. A beautiful bike. Really. Handsome because the elements all
seem so in proportion and tight. Not that I haven't annoyed the RBW folks
enough, but I will ask them once more ...
I appreciate the description
Hi Bill,
As I've mentioned, I have 54cm Hunq, my PBH is 85cm, and I am 175cm tall.
Saddle height (center of BB to top of saddle) is 75cm.

Thanks for all the comparisons and advice. I am chewing on all of this
information now. After seeing the 54 cm set ups, my concerns are certainly

I have a 54cm Hunqapillar w/ albatross bars. I'm 5' 10" and my PBH is
85cm. I've been riding 50mm and 55mm tires everywhere and I couldn't be
happier except that I miss having brakes at my fingertips when my hands are
forward on the bars.
Cheers, John

Thanks for the additional assessment. I appreciate the convenience of
having two sets of brakes on my Saluki drops. But I only miss them on the
Boscos during those couple of minutes when I'm tucked and screaming
downhilll at 30 plus miles an hour and don't really want to stop! I still
