Hi Simar,
That's an interesting bike...half a world away from Michigan.
The build sheet shows the owner as not that tall but with long legs -- 72"
and 89 PBH.
You at 5'9 had to get a little creative with the stem, but the picture in
the ad shows you remarkably upright on such a tall frame.

Woah, that’s a pretty steep drop from Will’s saddle to bars for me! But it’s pretty.I look forward to your photos, Valerie, and how I wish I lived in your neighborhood so I could bring my saddle and try your bikes. When it all boils down, it’s this:I’m looking to see what it’s like to ride a stripp
That looks incredible. More pictures and details please! It's the exact
opposite of my normal bike rides (urban NYC).

I think the big thing is that the gallop was designed for sweptback bars
and the roadini was not. In the world of Rivendell I am not sure what that
equates to because most of their bikes can go either way and Grant has said
that is true here too if you use a short stem. That statement tells me t

Sure! I just measured it at 23.5", or somewhere around 59.5cm.
i agree this is an interesting bike. I'm also a long legs, short torso
rider so its pretty interesting this bike worked for me. I ride it pretty
often - its been my default bike for quick, fast rides and I've even
rando-ed on it. T
Valerie, I am also looking forward to your photos. I love show and tell!
Thank you for your posts which I have started looking forward to.

Joe - Thanks for the additional pictures and info. It is a lovely and
interesting bike that sounds like a fun ride. I wonder how it compares to
the upcoming Gallop. I am curious but it is out of my price range at
present.

Chiming in to say that this particular conversation comes at a great time

me to second guess. Leah, I'm planning to go to Riv in June sometime and
ask them all the questions about Roadini vs CHG. I'll make sure to post
Main ways it differs (geometry aside because that is above my pay grade),
this one has canti studs for V, mini-v, or canti brakes. This one is 135
spaced in the rear I cant remember if the production gallop is 130 or 135.
The Gallop top tube hits the seat stay a touch higher and uses a lug there

Armand is not getting me to sign up for the triple scoop. Even the single
scoop option sounds brutal enough to me, with 4100 ft elevation gain over
27 miles, but Tony, I'll suffer through it with you if you want to try the
single scoop!

I did the double scoop last year on my Atlantis! Would love to see all of
you there again next weekend. The vibe is usually impeccable. Also there's
a special Thursday-night basket ride with the Blue Lug folks, which should
be a good time.

I'll add some bicycle content by saying I think it's great if one is able
to change up what bikes you have, based on your current riding desires and
ability. I hope someone steps up and buys Joe's beautiful bike!

Jason - Thanks! ! I love them all. It does feel to me like Grant applied
some of his hillibike design ideas to a frame that is less stout and more
flexy for added liveliness and fun on paved rides. I have yet to test them

to the production version. Although, I will add that nothing in that

FWIW, I was checking the Gunnar/Waterford site to see if they had my paint

Sometimes you can find nail polish that will match or come very close.
Clear polish will help prevent rust if you can’t find a color match.
