Bill - I'm curious whether you have insight into the real weight of the Gallop frameset, and if not, what your educated guess might be. I am not a weight weenie (anymore) at all, but still I would love to see (or host, if need be!) a Rivendell frame weight library. Not because I think less is

Jason, That is a beauty. I like the swooping to tube as it meets the seat tube. I prefer this design over the gallop with the straight top tube. You improved it too with the silver fenders. Glad to see the safety clips on the front fender stays too. Sticks are a real problem when off road. Love
