Shaun, I read you post and had an idea just out of curiosity, I opened the picture in photoshop- where there's a tool called the 'measure tool'. It can tell you the number of pixels between any two points in a digital image. Using this tool and a little ratio arithmetic, I figure that the

I think it looks great! It'll look even better when it gets the grey paint with the red, blue, or orange panels. I didn't like the look of the double-top-tube bikes at first but it has grown on me. I ride a 68cm Atlantis and Quickbeam now, and I don't notice much (if any) frame flex or anything. Bu

>From reading the initial flyer on the Hunqapillar, don't believe it's an exact budget version. More of a budget cross between the Atlantis and Bombadil. Don't believe the tubing is as stout as the Bomba. And the smaller wheel size is 26" instead of 650B. Looking at the photos, the raw bike has

Absolutely, any of you present and future Hunqers (Hunkers?) have got to revel in the 'fugly' comments from the general population. That big one is most certainly a beast (a sexy beast, but a beast nonetheless). I already have a 56cm Hillborne, and a 56 Bomba that I'll be picking up this month.

I don't agree with Steve but I defend to the death his right to say it. ("It" being "fugly".) But Steve, it's unfinished; of course it looks ugly. Otherwise, not much different than the Bombadil, no? Let freedom of opinion and crudity of expression reign free. On Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 8:50 PM, Se

Yes, that's the 62. And it is pretty big. Keven said it probably fits more like a 65. Great ride! jim On Mar 10, 5:05 pm, Marty wrote: > By the way, was that the 62cm in the photos? Seems tallish... > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bun

Okay Jim, Those are awful pictures. Are you also the same photgrapher that took the Bigfoot photos and made the Zapruder film? Although the graininess does certainly give them a certain "spy photo authenticity". Joe > Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:14:00 -0800 > Subject: [RBW] Re:

Spy photos added -- taken by camera phone so they are appropriately grainy. Also got to ride it. It's a really good ride; smooth, nimble, and very comfy with the Marathon XRs. I can see going a long way on it. Grant is going to post better pictures tonight. How do I explain the mud I splashed on

Keep in mind that the first person to post a spy shot of the Hunqapillar gets a prize - a nice repro Frank Patterson illustration. All ya gotta do is join the Flickr group if you haven't already and post it first! Well, then I'll need an address and stuff, but that's a detail, not part of the prize
