Old hunter on Ebay

The starting bid is $649. Seems a bit pricy for a non-splined MUni with
a viscount seat and a tire smaller than 3"

More than a bit...that's one over-priced dinosaur.

Interesting to see, however, that the front tubes were curved on his
early models.

It resembles a Telford frame more like that... minus the tilted seat
post tube.

It is funny to look at what used to pass as a hard core deluxe muni. 🙂

I notice nobody's beating the door down to bid on it. Maybe instead of
comparing this Hunter to the others on u.c before setting the price, the
Seller should have compared to the new KH munis.

Brings me back to wondering what was the sequence between Hunter and
Telford. This one says 1999, but Telfords were already out by then. I
can't remember if Telford was first, or if Geoffrey Faraghan (Telford)
got the idea from Rick Hunter. The Telford innovation was the tilted
seat post so you could use a standardized bike suspension post.

We had at least one Hunter and one Telford out on Mt. Diablo today, with
11 riders going from top to bottom. That would make a nice location for
a MUni Weekend ride someday, but we'd have to figure out where the rest
of the weekend's rides would be.

San Francisco/Bay area!!! The east bay (Berkeley/Oakland hills) has
plenty of good technical trails. Joaquine Miller could be ridden like we
did tahoe. There's short (1.5-3 mile) trails all through the valley,
ranging from super-fun technical to nice beginner trails. And there's
okay-good trials at the bottom and top of it all.

On top of it all it's close enough to urban areas that we could have
trials rides in there. Then again, I guess I'm not exactly an unbiased
observer, since I like the idea of not having to travel for a muni
weekend for once..

John, on the sequencing, it was December 1997. Both Bruce and Geoff had
the first prototype Hunter and Telford Munis that month. Geoff might've
been slighltly earlier, like one week, but both first hit the trail
sometime around Dec 20, 1997.

These funny looking ones...not sure, but they might have been from that
batch Bruce had made up for a bunch of his Netscape buddies - would've
been early 1999. They were definitely "Santa Cruz Battleship Grey".

What are you talking about. You already *live in* California! 😄

I know it's tough when you're a city-dweller (and/or not old enough),
but outside of downtown SanFran (or maybe Davis), this state is really
hard to do without a car.

Anyway, those trails sound great. we should talk more about it in a more
appropriate place. You could check and see if all of your favorite
trails are legal for bikes. That's one problem with Diablo, some of the
trails we rode yesterday might not have been. My legs are sore (3000'
descent).

Nathan, thanks for the history lesson. Fascinating! Sounds like Geoff
and Rick will be able to argue about origins forever! But knowing the
speed Geoff works, he probably thought of his frames long before Rick
did...
