[RBW] Re: Platypus for Clem L?

[Jake Kutchins]

I agree with what Garth is saying about weight/size differences. Depending 
on the respective builds and how the sizing falls, it's possible that a 
Platypus could be every bit as long and heavy as a Clem. As people in the 
81-84cm pbh range, I have a 55cm Platypus and my dad has a 52cm Clem, and 
the Clem is probably lighter in part due to the smaller wheel size. Both 
are great bikes, and I do find the Platypus rides zippier and lighter, but 
in terms of lifting, transport, and storage there is not much difference 
between the two. Hope this helps!

[RBW] Re: Platypus questions

[Jake Kutchins]

Hey Doug,

I have a 55cm Platypus and an 84cm pbh too. I'm running 60cm wide tosco 
bars with an 85mm faceplater stem and the distance between the center of 
the bar ends to the tip of the saddle is 53.5cm or 21 inches. I feel like 
this set up is really upright in a good way--I had a 110mm technomic stem 
and choco bars before recently making the switch.

Best,
Jake in NYC

[RBW] Re: Clemuno Jr

[Jake Kutchins]

I stopped by Riv and talked to Will last week. He said they're redesigning 
the Roaduno to be more of a Homer single speed (HomerUno doesn't sound 
quite right...) with caliper brakes rather than the "ClemUno" design they 
shared that had v-brakes. He said he liked the redesigned model slightly 
more. I tried to hide my disappointment for the ClemUno that wasn't.
