Welcome to the PlatyPose Posse, Christian,
I love the story and love the bike.  I got mine last year (First ever Riv) 
and I'm still making adjustments to it.  I love the ride.  I wish you many 
happy miles on it and look forward to hearing about your racing adventures 
like Leah.

too much anyways...

Serendipitously,  after reaching out for Riv Riders on the Front Range in

I *love *the all-black aesthetics a la Crust build with black Antelope Hill 
extralights or Rylands from his June 2 post. I will update one day with

gearing that will let me tackle group rides a little easier, inspired of

Thanks Leah! I've been using this bike for all of the above. I have other 
bikes for those specific use cases, but I always end up riding my Platypus 
since it''s my favorite.

To be fair to Joe - which I am also always willing to do - he did say no 
one should remove the accessories.

Someone in another thread posted a 29.x pound Platy, but stated that they 
had gone for a light weight build.
So I was trying to encourage posts with all the goodies for a typical 
weight.
Apologies to Joe for misrepresenting him.

Not that shocking.  Those sound like reasonable numbers for reasonably 
equipped bikes.
We’ve been conditioned by the racing crowd to think that lighter weight is 
somehow “good”, and we should pay gobs of $$$ for it.
What really counts is whether you enjoy the ride.
Thanks for the data points!

Not bad at all. You could lose 4-5 pounds off that bike easy without the

Yup.

Better yet, both bikes.  Peppermint Platy, and Stealth Platy.

Thank you, Leah. Is Pamela on this list? Does she take orders?

Pamela: If you see this and care to consider making long and *flexible*
mudflaps for a 50 mm and an 80 mm front fender, please contact me at
bertin...@gmail.com. Thanks.

It's B-eautiful.  Teeth chattering?  I cannot see it in the pic, but 
you got a gold Edulux II headlamp, in the same gold color of the pulley 
thingy, right?  I hope you can ride sometime soon.  It looks great.

 Joyce, HOW could we call your Corgi a Beagle? The shame!

 When I bought my first Rivendell, I needed it to be a sort of 
 minivan - fun for the whole family. I had little boys I needed to pull 
 in a 
 bike trailer, and then I had this Eskimo dog who wanted to ride up 
 front. 

 I got the heavy-duty Nitto rack and the biggest Wald basket money 
 could buy and laid an old car mat in the bottom. That dog loved his 
 basket 
 and even learned how to lean in the turns.

 The bike trailer was retired after a couple of years but the basket 
 stayed put with that dog in it from 2012-2019, when he finally died.

"…they’re not *that* heavy."

How heavy are they?  Will somebody (or everybody) who owns a Platypus 
*please* take it to your LBS, get it weighed, and post the number?
My wife, who rides a 35 pound aluminum KTM Sorrento touring bike and wants 
a Platypus, would really like to know.
What does a typical Riv build with a couple of racks weigh?

I know I sound like a broken record, but so far we only have data from 
someone who deliberately tried to build a light weight Platy.

I'm with you, Joe.  Leah, "legs-of-steel," has me beat.  I was working 
pretty hard to keep my Platy aloft while my photographer took her sweet 
time getting several shots.  A squat would have been out of the question!  
Riding more would definitely help.

Re: [RBW] Re: #PlatyPosing: Post your pics here! (Riv Mixtes welcome, too.)

[Patrick Moore]

Good photos.

Leah, this one with the dog held in place by a cargo net particularly
caught my eye, because it reminds me of carrying 2 energetic (not to say
neurotic) Shi Tzu in a milk crate bolted to a tandem rear carrier. I had
lashed the dogs in place with shortened leashers, but the female, the
neurotic one, panicked when we exceeded 8 mph and took a dive over the
side, causing the bike and 4 occupants to go down. This almost crushed the
female, dangling by neck, between crate and asphalt, but I managed to save
her. A cargo net would have worked better.

[Jared Wilson]

Wow, such great photos here!

Am I sensing another trend incoming with #rivdoggos?

Someone (myself?) needs to start a spinoff thread, I can only image what we 
could come up with!

Gracie, the Pembroke Corgi, will be as pleased to hear her accolades as I 
am!  (I won't tell her you thought she was a beagle.)  If truth be known, 
she's staring down that Platy because she doesn't like tires and must bite 
at them.  We're working on her being a true #RivDoggo who can ride on the 
back.

Keep posting photos, everyone!  It's wonderful to see you and your 
PlatyPoses.

Ride on, #RivSisters (and brothers)

Also, you are all so adorable that I think Grant has to see this. I emailed him 
the link; I’m sure he will get an absolute kick out of all these ladies 
hoisting their Platys in the air in color-coordinating outfits. I just love 
this so much. You’re making my summer.

Oh my word, WOOO, Ladies! We must keep this thread alive forever! The 
more, the better. Fantastic shots - and your outfits are coordinated with your 
bikes, it would seem. Long live the Platypus and the fabulous owners who ride 
them.

I’ll try and get a #PlatyPose this week! 

You are so fun!

Re: [RBW] Re: #PlatyPosing: Post your pics here! (Riv Mixtes welcome, too.)

[Leah Peterson]

Kate - you get to post as many #Platyposes as you want, and keep them coming. 
You are a fabulous pair. I’m so glad your bike is as great as you hoped. “I 
can’t stop riding it” is exactly my sentiment. Best bike in the line!

Also, Kate coined our term #PlatyPosing. 

Jason-  I’m glad you are right in the thick of bike dorking  with me, you good 
Canadian, you! If a Canadian calls you a dork, you can be assured he will 
concoct a way to say it to you nicely. I love looking at your pair of Rivs on 
IG.

I could spend an entire weekend staring at that orange Wilbury.  Wow.  I 
would say the same about Leah's Platy, but let's be honest, I already 
(cumulatively) have.

 It’s the newest trend around RivWorld - Platypus owners lifting their 
 new Platys on high.

 If you have a Platypus, former Rivendell mixte model or a custom 
 Rivendell mixte, we need you here. Hoist your mixte on high, snap a photo 
 and post it here. It will be delightful to see how you’ve set up your bike 
 and all the personal touches you’ve added.
