Thanks for the post Jason, loved reading about your experience! I'm another lucky owner of a demo Gallop (61.5cm) with canti studs. I'm impatiently waiting for it to get delivered, it's taken forever to ship, but it's supposed to get here later this week - I'm sure the wait will be worth it and I hope to turn it into my main commuter and around town bike.
My pbh is 90.5 (ish) but I'm 5'11" with long legs & shorter torso - I'm very curious to see if the ETT will work for me with drop bars of I will need to switch over to swept back bars... I have an albatross cockpit ready to go for it just in case but I've never loved the wrist angle it puts me on. This will be my first bike with a swoop tube and I'm very excited about going in that direction but I'm not sure about fit. Also wondering about the brakes, mine comes with CX50 but I have a set of Paul Motolites and some Cane Creek drop bar levers for V-Brakes that I could use if I decide to stick with the drop bars... the alternative would be to take the Paul cantis from the Atlantis and move them over to the incoming Gallop (leaving the Motolites for the Atlantis which I plan to turn into more of a hilly bike) - first world problems for sure. I'd love to hear your thoughts on which brakes/levers would you pair with which bike if it were you?
