OK...so I have to ask...

One of the web specials was a silver custon with blue highlights. When I went to the web special link indicated, the custom, a platypus and a sam were gone. 

So who are the lucky ones who snapped up these specials? I'd love to know the story of that custom . If you're on the list, care to share? Nice score and congrats to the new owner, whoever you are

I saw that too- It appeared to be sold 15 minutes after the email went out!

I got one of the mermaid gallops, in 57.  The page would lead one to believe that they just had one but I see it’s still for sale up there so they must have built more than one.

I was worried about the size but I have the exact same pbh as Grant, and believe he has one in a 57, at any rate the fit is perfect and i think a 53 would have been too small (have long arms)

Grant frequently rides larger sizes than are normally recommended, at least on bikes that have low top tubes.  I also have about the same PBH as Grant (85) and have test ridden his 61cm Charlie and 60cm Platypus. Both of those are larger than the recommended sizes for my PBH, but were easy to straddle and ride.
