Thor,
Loveboat's email is wrong - it is 2pm.  

As I understand it, the current Krypton is the same frame as the previous Platinum.  My Platinum broke, unable to stand the strain of my massive torque output.

Both frames are nice but I prefer the Gallium.  The Gallium is as stiff out of the saddle as the Platinum was but has a touch more vertical compliance and hence comfort than the Platinum. I think the front end of the Gallium is much stiffer than that of the Platinum, and the forks on the Gallium seem stiffer under brakes but not, stangely, if a side load is applied.

Either way, a light weight (relatively) chap like you, with your smoother pedalling style, will find either to be a nice stiff "sprinters" frame, which is no doubt why "The Box" recommended those frames to me.

Aesthetically, the Gallium is a much nicer looking frame.
