I do not agree that a factory ebike works better, it's just a cleaner build. I've converted a few Rivs and having the benefit of a great bike to start with was a big plus, in my opinion. I'll have pics of an All Rounder with Copenhagen Wheel for you folks to admire/be appalled at in a couple

I've got an E-bike & seeing as the whole bike cost about the same as my Clementine; there's hardly reason enough to buy a Rivendell and electrify it; cheaper just to buy a complete Ebike. It will work better then a converted bike as well. -- You received this message because you are

As much as I would love for the bike to be fully lugged and have a level TT, I think you are right that it will most likely have modern Riv geo and fewer lugs. So yeah, maybe a more roadish version of the Clem, the latter of which Grant says he thinks of as a mountain bike. A new Hunq would be

What's in a name? Charlie Hustle is a nickname for Pete Rose Gallop is something a horse does I'll put my 2 cents in for a mostly tigged, cheaper roadish country bike to replace the Appaloosa and Sam. Modern Riv geo with long chainstays, sloping TT. Would they include centerpull brake mounts

Is this a Gallop Poll? Tigged bike designed around the Tektro 559, so you can switch from 700c to 650B It will have 60 to 80cm chainstays. Mid tail. It will be designed for handlebars, but not suspension. It will not have disc brakes. Some people will wish it did. It will be offered in two

I am not sure how much you can read into the name, but it implies a bike that is fast and light. Maybe a single speed, although the market for those seems to be shrinking. I could be wrong about that. Safe to say it will not be a straight-up road bike, as the Roadini sold relatively slowly.

Well, a gallop is not a trot or a canter. I suspect something built with speed in mind, Mongolian style. [image: Muybridge_race_horse_animated.gif] On Wednesday, September 11, 2019 at 8:18:23 PM UTC-4, John G. wrote: > > The September email update teases a new bike: the Charlie H Gallop. >

I'd love to see them do it, though (yes I know it'll never happen), Sycip has been building some sweet steel frames for the Shimano STePS mid-drive kit. The long wheelbase, big tubes and uprightish design of recent Rivs is a perfect match for a not-overly-powerful integrated system. They'd
