[RBW] Stark NAKED Platypus!!!

2023-07-20 Thread Steve 
[image: IMG_1520.jpeg]

It arrived earlier today from Austin, still wrapped up in the original RBW 
shipping box, purchased by the PO from last November's batch but never 
unpacked (thank you Leah for the tip).

I'm planning to build it up as a road-ish  cruiser, probably 38 to 44mm 
slicks, definitely with fenders. A Billie bar is on the way from Walnut 
Creek. I'll also be fitting it with a 3x8 drivetrain because I already own 
it, but am thinking about an eventual compact wide range double.

This is my first Rivendell build. For those of you experienced with the 
Platy, or any of its kin, how would you do the  build? I'd enjoy  hearing 
any thoughts, opinions, or words of  wisdom.

Steve
