It'll certainly be lighter going up Killer Hill! It’s the going down first 
that could be interesting...

I’d you put the 650b wheels on your 700c frame, you won’t have brakes. Not

[RBW] Re: Platypus: First Look

[Steve Cole]

Leah,

Try Simworks if you want aluminum fenders.  I have an MIT Atlantis with 700 
x 55c Rene Herse Antelope Hill tires. Simworks has a fenders all the way up 
to 80 mm wide.  Mine are the Flat 65s.  They fit only needing a very small 
crimp on either side by the fork.   Simworks has other sizes as narrow as 
35 mm as well as other profiles (Round,Turtle, Fuji and Liner).  James at 
Analog said that Simworks fenders, which are made by Hong by the way, have 
the best attachment hardware.  Love your new Platy!

[Leah Peterson]

Eamon, I laughed out loud when I read this. My poor Clementine...it’s hard not 
to ride the newest, shiniest thing, isn’t it. If the Platypus moves more 
lithely uphill, my Clem will REALLY be neglected. But I’m still loyal to it; 
it’s a keeper. Raspberry Sparkle though...that’s just got a nice ring to it...藍

They must have read this and modified the web page to clarify.  It now 
says: 

Platypus like most of our bikes are/have:

   - Tough steel frame
   - Comfortable seat

   - Rack Mounts in the right place
   - Fender Mounts in the right place

As far as I can tell (which is never as far as I think it is), they just 
have this stuff up so people can see/read about the frame. They'll announce 
when you can actually buy one, so best be subscribed to e-mails.

Re: [RBW] Re: Platypus: First Look

[Shoji Takahashi]

Platypus hasn't been released for sale, yet. 

I hope Riv is sper busy with these frames and others that are coming 
into their shop. Riv noted that it will no longer take frames out of the 
boxes and do their usual prep... only to re-box and send it on the way to 
customers. This should make it a lot easier for them, and faster for 
customers to receive frames. 

(Riv will still do prep if asked... charging for time as they should.)

Tailwinds,
Shoji

Re: [RBW] Re: Platypus: First Look

[Mark Roland]

I think that would depend on how much your fenders wiggle.  But I doubt 
anyone on the list would know the answer at the moment. My guess is if it 
fit 50mm  (not 50c) tires with fenders, and they had tried it a few times, 
it would probably say fits 50mm tires with fenders. Or 45 with, 50 and 
wiggle room without (so you could probably run 48 or 50mm knobbies?

Which reminds me: When, I say when, is Rivendell finally going to make a 
full jammies body suit (all wool 
of course)?!! 
Certainly excellent for campouts or lounging at your favorite coffee joint, 
but these bad boys really shine when working from home! And please, please 
make it available in a Blanket Sleeper style

Really like that custom color too!

On the site it says it fits “50c smooth tires with wiggle room”. Does anyone 
know if that means 50c with fenders?

Re: [RBW] Re: Platypus: First Look

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

I really like both production colors - they’re fresh and airy. I hope 
Rivendell sells out of these bikes completely and are compelled to order 
another batch immediately. Bike demand is up in 2020, and this is 
Rivendell’s time to shine! Platypuses on parade,
Leah

[RBW] Re: Platypus: First Look

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I will say that color is amazing and if it is not available to the rest of 
us, I will probably hurt someone.  

I am all over this and my finger is twitching, waiting to pre-order.

[RBW] Re: Platypus: First Look

[Roberta]

Neither stock color is as dark, as rich, as luscious, or as special as 
Leah's Raspberry Sorbet frame color, but I do like the light aqua 
blue/green color and already asked Analog to order me one in a 55.  I'm 
really looking forward to riding a mixte!

Smart to show Leah's frame in B, and to show the available colors.

“ This is our final Platypus sample frame and we arranged to have it 
painted a special color for Leah, a fantastic customer of ours. It’s not 
something we offer, but she’s been such a great rep for us that it was the 
least we could do. These frames are due in around December and are coming 
in a Blueish-Silver and Lime metallic. ”

I'm going with Raspberry Sorbet (not the kind you find in a second hand

Having your new model frame secured before the pre-sale goes live, in a 
custom color just for you, is a real good sign you're properly Riv-fam. 

I am very excited to watch this one come together!

Re: [RBW] Re: Platypus: First Look

[Joel Stern]

Our rough frame delivery timeline

A lot of people have emailed asking what's coming when. Here's a rough
outline of what's coming in the next 7 months or so

   - Sam Hillbornes - around Halloween
   - Platypus frames - November
   - Appaloosas - early next year
   - Clem Ls - March or April
   - Charlie Gallops - sometime around Summer
   - Homers after that
   - Susie/Gus after that

Complete bikes are tricky nowadays; A lot of manufacturers were shut down
in the beginning of the pandemic and we're really feeling that gap in work
now. We have to be more flexible in what parts we pick on the completes and
you'll have to trust us to not pick anything bad. It'll likely get fancier
actually.

Re: [RBW] Re: Platypus: First Look

[Leah Peterson]

Hi Paul, the bikes are not completes, so you’ll get to choose your parts. The 
Platypus frames are supposed to arrive in November, or so the last newsletter 
said. There is rumored to be more news come this week, when the newsletter and 
BLAHG post are released.

I hope we all get one! Let’s clean them out of Platypuses. Platypuses on parade!

Hey all. How do we order one of these? Just don't see them on the Riv site! 
 Just curious. My daughter might love one.

The color looks great - the red equivalent of the new HH gold color.  I 
guess I'll need to wait until tomorrow to find out the production colors.
Are there rack mounts on the top of the fork crown? It looks like there's 
something there.

Whatever the color is called, I call it *spectacular. *I didn't know it was 
possible to be the recent recipient of a Joe Bell painted custom and still 
be envious of another color and frame but here I am! 

Leah I know this project was a long time coming - I remember talking about 
the Anniversary Mixte back when I was young! - and you put a lot of time 
and thought into the color. Between you and Grant and the painter and 
builder..nailed it! That's a lovely bicycle, I can't wait to see it built 
and you flying around on it in your Instagram videos.

Well, this should ease the burden on my Clementine a bit. I have 81 miles left 
until I reach my 2,020 mile goal for 2020 - all done on that Clementine. And 
did you see the weight thread about the Clem L? Whew.

Welcome, Platypus!

"No, the bike will be ridden half to death."

You've got some riding to do then.  So far, the half-life of a Rivendell is 
still an open question.  If you keep buying new ones, you'll never know.  
Steel is real.

Wow, congratulations! A pre-production Platypus in a custom color!! 
Beautiful. And I'm glad to hear it, as I was tempted just by the luscious 
color alone. This will be one fabulous bicycle.

No, this bike is mine. The production colors will be new colors - I bet you’ll 
more know on Thursday.

 Are you still with me? Get ready to be delighted! I have wanted a new

 me an email. And in that email was the most remarkable photo...
 
 It’s Grant, with my new Platypus in his arms. Everything about this photo 
 is so endearing. The way Grant is proudly presenting the bike, this 
 long-awaited fancy mixte, named after his favorite animal. The way his 
 eyes are covered so you can’t read the pride in them but you can see in 
 his outstretched arms how he hopes you are pleased with his masterpiece. 
 It’s too much for me. I’m overcome. It is likely to go on my wall...the 
 photo, not the bike. 
 
 No, the bike will be ridden half to death. I won’t be precious about it, 
 but I will dress it up fancy. Analog is doing another one of their famous 
 colorful wheelsets and dyno systems for me, and the accent colors we chose 
 are rose and teal. (If you only have 2 bikes, you get to splurge on the 
 builds. See photo for wheel/dyno selection.) Rivendell will do the rest of 
 the build, and I am really looking forward to this because I haven’t ever 
 chosen the parts for a complete bike build before. My last *new* Rivendell 
 was the 2012 Betty Foy, and I didn’t know a thing about bikes then, so I 
 just requested Keven choose everything. In 2020, I know just enough to 
 have an opinion and I’m really looking forward to Will’s phone call about 
 the parts this week.
 
 The mixtes are the best bikes Rivendell makes, and they have outdone 
 themselves with this beauty. It’s regal, like a ballroom gown, and made 
 better because it’s not just a pretty face. It may appear as a 
 contradiction, because it is exquisite, yes, but not at the expense of 
 function. It is smart. Capable. Beautiful. Useful. This is the DNA of a 
 “joy-bringer.”
 
 I hope this beautiful bike brightens your day a little bit, and stokes 
 your excitement for Grant’s upcoming, long-awaited and much-celebrated 
 Rivendell mixte. I wish you all a Platypus this November!

It looks like a cross between candy apple red and light fuschia, I like it.

Re: [RBW] Re: Platypus: First Look

[Roberta]

That color is the most wonderful color I've seen since your 
water/aqua/silvery/blue Clementine bike color, which is now the former best 
color ever for a bike color.  And, with rose colored rims--ooh, la, la 
  And, the graceful lines--so sophisticated yet soft looking.  If at least 
one of the other colors is half as nice as the "it can't be red" color, I 
will be first in line for it.

[RBW] Re: Platypus: First Look

[Mark Roland]

Wow. That is gorgeous. Is it red? If that is the frame color, your wheelset 
will look killer.I would send you my raspberry Brooks, but my Susie arrived 
today and it's slated for that bike. Which means I must stop 
procrastinating and build the dang wheels.
