Dear A.H., Welcome! I can't speak to the Platypus except it has wide acceptance here. However, I do have both a Sam Hillborne and a A.H. Homer Hilsen. Both are capable on pavement and dirt roads/rail trails, etc. The lighter tubing on the Homer makes it a bit more lively but the Sam is more capable for touring. My bikes both date to 2015 and before. So, the Sam has Paul center pulls and the Homer was converted to Paul Touring cantilevers. Both have fenders and use 38mm tires. Both use moustache bars (for different reasons). So, I'd say, "pick your poison" depending on the type of riding you expect to do and what you intend to carry.. (And maybe your personal body weight. I am 170 lbs.+ -). https://www.flickr.com/photos/bikecrazy-paul/53407463860/in/album-72177720313691125/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/bikecrazy-paul/53181801054/in/album-72177720313691125/ Paul Germain Midlothian, Va.
