In my opinion, RBW bikes are overbuilt to go where other road bikes
wouldn't necessarily go. Cushy tires also cushion the frame, in my opinion.
I weigh 241 (down 10+ lbs in the last month!), and I've ridden my Quickbeam

I'm 6' even, about 155lb. I could probably take a Sam a few places it's not
expected to go, but I usually don't go those places anyway, so we'd both be
out of place.

I read yesterday that Alex Moulton rode 8 to 9 miles a day into his 90s.
If I can match that, then when my Sam and Saluki wear out there's still
time for another Riv purchase. Life gets shortened by not riding a bike.

Brian,
Makes perfect sense. In a side by side comparison, I'm sure the Hunqa would
be slower than the AHH and mores the Rodeo.

Patrick - the Hunq is a great bike, no doubt, but I definitely feel that it
is slightly slower for me than my AHH. The paint makes it look fast, and
having the thought of the Mammoth makes me "feel" faster. I finally
eyeball measured this very inaccurately on my nightly commute home over the

You've made a sale. Only problem, buyer has no cash. But next bike, if next

Patrick - I think the Hunq is very light feeling and agile. I was amazed
when I first pulled mine out the box, my analogy will seem odd - but it
looked like a strung bow. A friend that regularly rides a Quickbeam was
amazed by the feel and ride of the bike. I am a commuter, and I agonized

Interesting. Is this the impression others have of the two bikes?
The consensus seems to be that the Hunq is exceptionally light feeling and
agile for a bike that takes 60 mm tires.

Hey Mike, welcome to the group! Will, who is an employee at Rivendell owns
both a Hunq and a Sam in 62cm, I know cuz I ride with him a bit, he would be
