I don't hate the new look but I think the swoop looked better. This to me is like a cross between a Cheviot and maybe the Rosco Platy. It has less of a reason to exist than the previous Gallop or the outgoing Roadini. I prefer the look of a traditional mixte vs this slightly higher bar. I also am a bit confused about designing it for sweptbacks and sizing up (both with greater reach) and then pushing it with drop bars/albastache. I don't like sizing up for a road bike. BUT I might be confused as to what the target is now. Odd that Blue Lug says its not coming out but obviously Grant made it sound like it was in his blog.
