[RBW] Re: WTT Hunqapillar for Joe Appaloosa

I have the 57 cm orange Appaloosa but your Hunq is too big for me. A Hunq for me would be about 56 cm I reckon. Trade the Hunq for a smaller one and then trade that one to me? We need a third person to make this bike trade triangle! -Matthew San Diego On Sunday, January 9, 2022 at 5:58:45 PM

[RBW] Re: Platypus Questions

Yes, a Platy should be on the lighter side, remember it's derived from the Cheviot which was kind of a droptube Hillborne road bike with road brakes. Grant changed the brakes and a couple frame details, but it still should be closer to Hillborne and Homer than the touring/fire roads category

I don't mind a heavy-ish bike (I do own Rivendells, after all), but it can be too heavy for me to lift onto a bike rack or over a log. I never weighed my Platy, but I built it up with lightish parts--Brevet rims, some kind of Gravel King tires run tubeless, 1x with Garbaruk cassette (they

Re: [RBW] Re: Platypus Questions

With the extra tubing, the Platypus will definitely be a heavier frame than your Sam, and likely similar or heavier to the Atlantis. Just guessing. I'm also guessing your Trek (assuming a generic aluminum fitness hybrid) will probably be lighter. Eric On Sun, Jan 9, 2022 at 4:43 PM Rusty Click

[RBW] Re: Platypus Questions

I'm with your wife here! Certainly not a weight-weenie but a lighter bike is more fun to ride, feels more lively and doesn't bum you out on the hills. My personal feeling is that around 28 to 30lbs built up gives you a sweet venn between a rideable weight with the parts you want and not

As long as the seatpost is tight in the frame and the clamp is tight on the post you should be good. My very long Platy-ish custom is the same way in my Park stand, those wheels are wa out there and you're going to get a rocking effect when working on it. Joe Bernard On Sunday, January

Re: [RBW] Re: New Clem & Group usage issues & possible stem / bar swap?

It's BEAUTIFUL and even better, COMFORTABLE! It took me awhile to get my Platy "just so." BTW, before I found this group about five years ago, I didn't know one could just change stems or handlebars to get a more comfortable ride. I sold my last bike (pre-Riv) because I had to reach forward
