[RBW] Re: Did Charlie Gallop lose its swoopy top tube?
The design decision for the straight top tube unfortunately killed my interest in the frame.

Reminds me of the Jack Taylor Rough Stuff. I think the calipers vs cantilever is more of the shame than losing the swoopy tube. Overall a good lookin bike.

If those are the Susie/Gus hybrids, then they look just like well... like the same old Susies. I guess that's a good thing. He mentioned a lighter tube spec Susie not passing the MTB ISO tests. Geez, does that mean the weight limit on those is going to be even lighter than before? Do you need to be a 150 lb rider to ride one now?

Re: [RBW] Re: Did Charlie Gallop lose its swoopy top tube?
yeah amazing, I also missed the hanging frames.About the Gallop, am I misunderstanding or is the blue lug note saying that this prototype won’t be released, meaning the straight tube prototype won’t be released.

Great eyes! I missed that.

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.

I may be in the minority, but I think that Charlie H. Gallop above looks better than the Platypus. Just something about the lines of the frame that I prefer.

The "Joe's influence" thing is kinda circular. My original inspiration was another Riv Custom that looked a lot like this, then Grant dropped my toptube a bit lower.

I like it too. Interesting evolution. I like the fact that Riv shares it with us, even if it occasionally means that you get attached to something that won't happen.

[RBW] Re: Did Charlie Gallop lose its swoopy top tube?
I prefer a full low mixte or the swoopy hillybike style to a higher angle but Rivendell doesn't do anything I would consider unpleasing to the eye. I will need to see full geometry but it seems like this is just a Platy with a slightly higher top tube. I doubt the tube set is different so weight would be similar (just trying to think of roady considerations) Actually its probably closer to a Cheviot.

Interesting! I wonder if they've pivoted on what the Charlie is going to be.
