I really apologize for having this bump up over and over. This shall be the 
last time I do so. I forgot that there is one more major difference with 
the proto version. The rear spacing is 135 vs 130 on the production version.

Thanks to Dan in another thread for providing the link to the full geometry 
chart from Rivendell. I will post it below. Riv says that despite design 
changes the geometry remains the same so you can look at the 49mm frame 
here. Mine is 50mm but based on my effective reach measurement (which I am 
proud to say was pretty right on) I think its essentially the same. What 
you get vs the new one: v brake/canti mounts which equals way more tire 
clearance and way more brake choices. I will include shipping for the $2000

 More info on this one. There are no real marks or dings. Very clean. It 
 does not have a ton of miles because I do errands on my Clem more than 
 road 
 riding. I have had 48's on it with the mini-moto's and that fit fine but 
 you could not go higher. Moving to regular V's or cant's would allow you 
 to 
 get higher than that but I am not positive what the upper limit would be. 

 I am open to offers but not trades. Thanks!

Looks like that is around 570 which is a bit longer than the Roadini but 
that makes sense as its designed for sweptback. I can see if I can get

[RBW] Re: FS: 50cm Orange Protovelo Charlie Gallop

2024-10-14 Thread Johnny Alien
I apologize I don't think I knew there was another one that had the 
headbadge. And there was a second small batch with a shallow swoop and 
sidepulls. Those may have headbadges.

More info on this one. There are no real marks or dings. Very clean. It 
does not have a ton of miles because I do errands on my Clem more than road 
riding. I have had 48's on it with the mini-moto's and that fit fine but 
you could not go higher. Moving to regular V's or cant's would allow you to 
get higher than that but I am not positive what the upper limit would be. 

I am open to offers but not trades. Thanks!

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

This one is unique as its the only prototype with the stock headbadge. I 
think the other ones had Gallop tube decals but no headbadge.
