Thanks for your kind replies, friends…but there won’t be any curb hopping at this stage of the game. If I tried that, the least thing to worry about is a bumper. :) 

And, Sally, I’d love to see your Platy! Honestly, I love admiring what you all do with your bikes.

Liz,

What a wonderful, beautiful bike; thanks so much for sharing! 

Those pristine pictures reminded me I'd better find some bike shampoo and re-fender my much-less-shiny but equally loved 50 cm PP ha!

Have loads of fun!

Beautiful build, Liz! I love how the purple pops in the photos against the silver bits. I'll have to check out the S!lver hubs and CR18s. Brevets seem to have disappeared...

Careful with curb hopping with the low front fender. I had a low front fender like that for my AHH and needed to move it up a bit (and added a fender flap). 

Tailwinds,

What a great build - I love the blend of fancy and functional. CR18s are my go to for an economical roadish/all-rounder rim (great for tires between 35mm and 2"). Looking forward to seeing some ride reports and photos!

Some of you know that I missed out on getting a 50cm Playpus at the time of Rivendell’s online scramble…in which they sold out in a flash. But my disappointment turned immediately into a fun adventure with Cycle CL out of Montreal in Canada…I cannot recommend these folks at Cycle CL highly enough…

My purple Platypus should arrive at my home today— my local bike shop will reassemble it, and I hope to ride my purple beauty for the first time this weekend. 

For those of you who want to see what Cycle CL and I pulled together…here’’s a link to it with descriptions  on their website. https://www.clcycle.ca/en/blogs/montages-recents/lizs-purple-platypus/#comment-24253

Thanks so much to all who encouraged me! And, to Leah, our queen, thank you for my Platy pin! It’ll be my first addition.
