I too am intrigued by the Charlie Gallop. I saw Russ interview Grant on Path Less Pedaled Link and Grant showed a prototype and talked about the design and purpose of the bike. If I don't buy a Roadini then I will wait for the Gallop in August.

I'd like to grab an Appaloosa - curious about the colors that will be on offer. On Thursday, January 11, 2024 at 4:03:05 PM UTC-5 drewfi...@gmail.com wrote: > Saw this in the last email: > > >- February - Clems >- March - Lugged Susies - kind of a new model >- April - Roaduno bikes

Drew - indeed, quite a departure from the earier protos, and neat as well - but now that it's lugged it seems to overlap existing models a bit more other than the novel drop tube. I wonder if it shares the upper HT lug as the new Susie (TT angle more flat due to HTA) John - Yeah I agree, the

Jason, I concur with your assessment of the new Atlantis. I had always pined for one, ever since the inception of the model. In fact, other than the "LongLow", it was the first Riv I coveted. But, alas, things have changed (Grant would say for the better). I finally purchased a Riv, the

The last Charlie sightings(blue lug visit) almost has it looking like a Homer with the Mixte like top tube. I appreciate it as someone with short legs and a long torso, though the tire clearance and v brake/canti options of the Sam has my vote. - Drew On Fri, Jan 12, 2024 at 01:09 Jason Fuller

Yeah! Despite following the Charlie development perhaps more closely than anyone outside Riv HQ for the longest time, it's changed a bunch and I've kind of lost the pulse on what makes it unique in the lineup. I used to think it was going to be the evolution of the Roadini but it seems to be

I am intrigued by the Charlie Gallop. The random photos I’ve seen so far make it look like a road, path, , rail trail cruiser that I need. On Thursday, January 11, 2024 at 10:17:49 PM UTC-6 brok...@gmail.com wrote: > Jason, I 100% agree with you on the Joe vs. Atlantis, and the void in > Riv’s

Jason, I 100% agree with you on the Joe vs. Atlantis, and the void in Riv’s lineup for a classic-styled roadish tourer (which is why I think so many folks are searching for early era Atlantis frames these days - I’m glad to have found one this past year). I’m not a fan of what the Atlantis has

Word is the Sam is unchanged from previous batches, geometry-wise, which is wonderful news as Sam is perfect. No plans to pick up anything this year, in fact it's my fourth annual "no new bikes" resolution which has failed three times thus far. I am a big fan of the new Susie's combination

I admittedly parse these things to heavily, but the thing that struck me was the comma between Charlie Gallop and nu model. I assume that refers to the Charlie itself, but that barely feels new anymore. Could there be something else we don't know about on the horizon, or was this a
