Fantastic.
No rush on my end. Just hang on to it and I can grab it when schedules are
better.
I’m happy to PayPal or Venmo any time, or can do cash in person.
Thanks!

Great thanks Ben! I work until probably 8-9pm tomorrow and not sure what hours
the rest of the week. I’m in production so long hours for me until the weekend.
I’d be happy to meet as I’m close by in Mt. Washington.
Thanks,

Welcome Kathie,
Go get it! The numbers on that frame are hard to come by so far (no
geometry chart), but a list member recently checked the effective toptube
on the 55 Platy and came up with about 59.5-60cm. At 5'-6" 80-ish PBH I
could ride that size with bars and post slammed, and I know I
I might have a pair. I'll look for them in the morning. PM me if you
don't hear from me in a day or two.

I’ll take the carradice bag if it’s still available. I live in Echo Park so
maybe I can just pick it up sometime? Happy to pay right away, though.

I’m new to this site. I am in the market for a Platy. I just need to double

Not the model I mentioned, which are more like a hiking boot with a stiff

Do you have a bungee net? I’d think the wheel would sit on a padded rack
vertically with a bungee net over it. Seems like tension would be equal on both
sides so it wouldn’t topple one way or the other. Probably need a decent sized

I did the same thing to my Appaloosas: boscomoose, bullmoose, chocomoose,

of the day I always come back to the chocomoose though. There is something

Laing pointed out the FJSr has a "smaller diameter tube set".
It's just the downtube that is smaller diameter, but I agree with you that
the planing zealots should love that. That said, the planing zealots
generally scoff at long chainstays and/or easily find other things to
complain about.
Leah, thanks for your support in hoping for a happy ending to the bike search!
I love how much the members here share in each other’s joy when it comes to
riding these special bikes.
Laing, I hope your quest results in finding the right bike for you! And if it’s
not the MMM, please keep me in
I would classify the FJ Sr as the Rivendell most likely to "plane" of any
recent Rivendell bike doe to it's smaller diameter tube set, that is, if I
had any idea what "planing" was.

Bought a pair of Lake (MXZ 200) a couple years ago and wear them when it
gets below 30 here.
They have a goretex liner, vibaram sole, great stiffness and plenty of room
in the toe box for thick socks. They also have a cutaway so you can use
SPDs if that's your speed.

me as a fair bit more than half retail, even though it is a high-end

I'd like a silver 58 too, just for the kickstand plate. For now, I am

Patch, that's a great looking bike. I'm always impressed with how versatile

not too hilly (DP would recommend walking in that case, lowest common gear).
Good luck,
