I like the green but think it needs a cream head tube. The green would look

I ride a Hunqaplliar with bullmoose bars. They are a perfect fit. No
adapters needed! I especially love riding off road. These bars are solid
and give me a great feeling of control. I think you will be very satisfied

I started with Bullmoose bars on my Hunqapillar. Switched to Albas for a
bit but found them to be too upright for my riding style. Too much weight
was on the seat and there wasn't enough stretch. I found that most of my

I'm planning to switch my bullmoose bars for albatrosses. Need to remove

Never thought I'd ever think of selling a Rivendell but with my third son
in college and plenty of bills in the mailbox, I'm thinking that one must
go. I just don't know which one. I have a four year old Atlantis which is

Dave Eggers reviews Just Ride in this week's New York Times Book Review.
It's clear that he understands the book and the pleasure of simply riding a
bike. I enjoyed his description of showing up for a casual ride with a
friend only to see the friend dressed in a tight shirt with advertisements,
I vote for the bullmoose. I ride a 54 cm Hunqapillar with bullmoose bars

comfortable ride. There are times when I'd like more hand positions but
they are few. Riding into a headwind I've been able to find a hand positio
I just got home from my 28 mile commute and loved it. Rode the Hunqapillar

I'm in the process of building my hunq so I have yet to ride it. When I

bars and 700*50 duremes. I'll have a better idea if it's the right fit in a
This winter I'll be building my Hunqapillar. I got the frameset in
September along with a bottom bracket and crank. Last month I got bullmoose
handlebars, and brake levers. I had a leftover mini rack for the front.

I'd be interested in riding the Acadia part. I've ridden the carriage roads

I experienced the negative to saving for a bike this past winter. I

I have Marathon Supremes 700*35 and they're fine for the road and
carriage trails. Now in winter I've replaced them with the Marathon
Extremes 700*40 which work a lot better when the roads and trails get
messy. I have a lot more confidence in the Extremes. Bill

I soon will mount new tires for the N'England winter. I've ordered
Schwalbe Duremes 700*50. Now I need advice about fenders. If anyone is
riding an Atlantis or similar bike with 50s I'd like to hear about
your choice in fenders. Thanks. Bill

I've been patiently waiting for some good shots of the 54 Hunq. Thanks
for posting. Your bike looks awesome. I'm curious about the
orange,which I prefer, thought the Hunq was only coming in red. What
type and size tires are you using? They fit the bike well. Bill

So I was feeling low-again there was a sale and ride at RBW HQ and I'm
3000 miles away. Decided I'd do my own Riv ride so I took care of
errands, packed a pbj,chips and an apple and pedaled off on my
Atlantis for Mount Agamenticus. From my home in Kennebunk,Mt A is 24
miles. The mountain is only 69
The new Bombadil frame is awesome. Put one on layaway for me-NOW!

I own an Atlantis set up as a touring bike with 700*35 Marathon
Supremes. It rides beautifully on roads. I too have been thinking of
adding another Riv, possibly a Bombadil or Hunq. I also considered the
AHH and then putting larger tires on the Atlantis. With the
suggestions from others of adding a

there's not snow, then there's rain and fog. Also they look great. I
even installed fenders on my non-Rivendell bikes-now they have the
look, too. Bill
