For sale: 57cm Charlie H Gallop Frame+fork+headset+kalloy seatpost.  Dark Gold color.  $1250 plus shipping.  Here's a photo of the complete bike:  Gallop

I purchased the bike in part to prove that it's perfectly possible to do a <20 pound Rivendell build even on a current model.  That ultralight build morphed a little bit into a credit card touring build because my old friend Bob asked me to accompany him on a cyclotour through France in the Summer of 2027.  Bob subsequently found love and now wants to spend his Summer traveling with her over me, so my Summer 2027 plans are changing as well.

Did you achieve a sub 20lb build before converting to a touring rig? 

Beautiful bike, looks great in gold.

What is your PBH and height if you don’t mind sharing?

Yes, I did have a sub 20 pound complete Gallop.  If you go chronologically through the Flickr album, the first complete photo would be in that 19.8 pound range.

I'm 5'10" and my saddle height is 75.5cm
