Re: [RBW] Introducing the Charlie H Gallop Protovelo

Hi Gallop riders – Does anyone have a take on the Gallop in contrast to an unloaded Hillborne with drops? I know Jason has a Hillborne but racked and fendered. Curious how they compare :) On Saturday, February 12, 2022 at 9:31:56 AM UTC-5 Johnny Alien wrote: > Killer! I can't wait to see it.

Thanks for sharing, Jason! I know the frame's a bit big for you yet I'm curious to know how it feels with the drops. Too stretched out for you to get a good idea? Please tell us you're keeping that Suntour BL front mech. I know you like the nice tires, what are you thinking of for the
