George, yes, but the mermaid Platys are from the same run of frames. I could understand if my raspberry biked used a different shell(it was a sample), but those mermaid bikes ought to be the same, right? Unless there is a size consideration? But then again, both of my bikes are 55s, so if size was the issue they should both have the same shell. I wrote to one RivSister; she has the simple, sleek shell. I think she rides a 50.
