Such a GREAT bike, the swoop is classy but the canti studs that allow v-brakes are the major advantage of this prototype. I have the 55cm and can’t say enough great things about it. I had flared drop bars and those were excellent with mini-v-brakes (80mm arms) but it really shines with sweptback bars and v-brakes. 50mm tires and upside down albatross bars with inner bar ends for a in the hoods position, it’s phenomenal. I commute, weekend around rides on pavement and dirt for 20-40 miles, and did a very rainy Wine country Century on it this summer. A little flexy compared to a Cheviot, but also faster and as smooth a ride. Better than a Homer for roads, as competent as a Platypus in the dirt. Mine came as a triple but it’s a better fit for a double (;6-30) and 10 speed rear (11-40t). Love this bike, anyone this fits would be crazy not to get it. Though I’ll quibble and say mine also came with a Charlie head badge which is just awesome Abe
