Regarding Gallup status: According to Will's Friday email, there a a few
painted samples in the Appaloosa shipment that is due to arrive any day
now. I'm excited to see what they did!

Hey Max,
I'm in Atlanta, so likely would be tough to get up your way. My saddle
height is 73-74cm, so a bit lower.
I've got a 53cm Atlantis, and have been looking at the 54cm Sam, but if the
Charlie could get me up another size with the swooping top tube it might be
nice.

Hi Drew,
Where do you live? If you're nearby (I'm in Somerville, MA), you're more
than welcome to ride mine.
As far as clearances go, the swoopy top tube makes it easy to straddle
larger frames. For context, I'm 5'11" with long legs and Will thought the
61.5 would be ideal for me - the photo
@max and @Jason,
I'm interested in these bike as a 5'11 person with an 835mm PBH. I'd
imagine the 61.5 would be too big but I'd love to know what the clearances
are like on your bikes!

Gallop for sale in this list (but for shorter folks) as I'm once again just
finding the bike storage situation to be too jam-packed here and there's a
lot of redundancy between the CHG and the Sam.
Great bike for those
Thanks Johnny. The Charlie may well be my first Rivendell (if a Platypus
doesn't drop into my lap first).
I'm beginning to outgrow my '90s 650b converted race bike and have my
sight set on a roadish Riv. Preferably a swoopy one, just because.

I believe they are scheduled for next year. The changes from the prototype
that I know of are side pull instead of canti brakes and a less swoopy top
tube. It still swoops but not as much. They are now being designed around
albastache bars so I don't know if there were any geometry changes
Wondering if anyone knows the status of the Gallop? I really like what
I've been seeing on this thread but have been unable to track down any
mention of when they might be expected.
I'm smitten by the Charlie's lines - that curvaceous top tube that's not
quite low enough to call a "step
