Riv sighted on PBS newshour tonight

[Berkeleyan]

Did anyone else catch the Charlie Gallop on PBS NewsHour tonight?

At about the 44 minute mark, Stanford professor Pamela Karlan was interviewed about the broken state of our congressional elections, and the need for proportional representation. I'm guessing that's her ride, against the wall of the office, behind her.

is it a charlie or a platypus? hard to tell with the chair in the way..Riv pannier?

[Drew Fitchette]

Hard to tell, but the top tube angle and head badge look like a platypus to me! Good eye Andrew!

[Mike Rossi]

Yes, hard to tell. But, I think I’m seeing caliper brakes. Also wondering about that dark green color.

How about a Glorius? They came with the color of your choice.

or....a Wilbury :) especially with the somewhat more elaborate lugs

[Jonathan Carmack]

Not to spoil the fun but I did the most millennial thing possible and emailed her, it’s a 20 year old Glorious.

I am thrilled that she knows there was a discussion about this.

I bet she was tickled

Wouldn't the Glorius/Wilbury be the quintessential bicycle for a college professor's commuter bike 20 years ago?  With the Platypus being the modern day equivalent. ;-)

[Josh C]

Glorious makes more sense, seeing as those cork grips have been gone since before Platy and Charlie came about. Or around the same time the Platy came out. It's been some years, is my point.
