Here's my Gallium Pro.

I'm not crazy about it. The frame weight is definitely heavier than the claimed "790" grams. It rides smoothly, but it's not very stiff at all. It doesn't feel that responsive either. The handling is very good, and it's super stable, but that's the only "plus" in my mind. There's a good reason to why, and that's the lower BB. But I race crits, and the 75mm bb drop is way too low and even with 172.5 cranks and pedals with a really low stack height I've still gotten a few.
The frame geometry is weird and the headtube, on a per size basis is absolutely tiny. I'm not a massive sprinter, but I have a decent sprint. I can easily make the frame flex, even powering up climbs I get it to flex easily. For how expensive the MSRP is(3500 USD), I'd rather have a S-works tarmac.

Imo, pass on it
