No , it does not come treated with Boeshield or Frame Saver, as it's really

Interesting find. I hadn't heard of these. They are about the same weight as
the Velocity Synergy but with a more classic look (the A23 is considerably
lighter). Let us know how your build goes. And please post some pics.

Hi René,
Congrats on your new Hunqapillar! It looks great. Nice buildup, with some
nice upgrades from what would be a typical Riv 'standard' build kit. I got
my Hunq earlier this year, and Riv built it up for me pretty much standard,
but with Rich-built wheels, 150mm Bullmoose bars, and Paul

the hunqapillar can be light and nimble. the second top tube feels natural

I just measured the P-50's on my 650b, Hetre'd Quickbeam and they're around
53-55mm, so I think you are correct in assuming that you have P45's. My

than the 45's but that may have been a quirk of installation...

I have been riding my 54cm Hunq about 30% of the time off road. It's
currently shod with 700x50 Duremes (which are pretty decent off road,
btw, at the correct psi.)
