I can be shocking! But I had my blue Clem as my only Riv for a long time, and I had it set up as best I could with light parts and wheels and tires and still I was exhausted riding it at speed and up hills. The Platy solved that for me, and I had light parts on both and had Analog build both

I am shocked Leahas someone who regularly takes a bike with extra
weight and a non-ideal gear ranges on club rides I think its unfair to
label the Clem as not suitable for the same. I (personally) would probably
make changes to a Platy set up as such before using it for club rides but
YES
Doug, Well, I can tell you in earnest! Now, you know I’m on your side about Clem-loving. I will never sell mine. But the Platy is more nimble and fits me like a glove. I race it around on club rides. But I can also haul a bunch of stuff with it. What can you not do with the Platy? Well, gravel
What is it about the Platypus that relegates the Clem to not quite good
enough? I ask in jest. I'm loving my Clem and if I bought a Platy it would
have to be Clem plus one. I hope you find one in trade Justin but like Leah
said it seems folks don't move on from a Platypus often.

Mathew, I'll take that bag, Thanks. I've been a fan of Acorn and their
business model for many years and will make good use of it. I'll send a PM

that looks very good Leah! i haven't done cleaner myself. it looks like
you left enough slack at all the spots where you need it (ie for full "lock

no perfect answer. Bikes that have full-length housing have it pretty

Are they coming in Sergio Green? I had heard silver and Ana Purple but that
was many months ago. They maybe changed it. Do you know what the second
color will be?
Good luck with your search. I love a Platy above all else. I bet you don’t
sell it, even in 2 years when you get the itch to try
Thanks Leah. I saw that, but was hoping to get one at a used price or to
trade. Otherwise, I may hold out until the Sergio Green plattys are
released (September according to the most recent calendar?)
Like I said, I love my Clem but yes, I miss the Cheviot and am itching for

Hi all - the RH tires are sold. The grips and rack are still up for sale --
as is the jacket, though I suppose Rapha is an outlier brand amongst the
others, ha.

I’ll do some digging and see if I can find you one, Justin. But I’m so
curious - I know you loved that Clem and you used to have a Cheviot. Are
you missing your old Chev? I have both bikes and I find the Platypus far
superior to my Clem so I get it. I’ll get to looking…

recently put together a mundo for a friend with a triple and there's
nothing weird about the seat tube. took a regular FD without any shims,
etc. cant imagine a kombi is much different?

John,Sorry to reply to the group, but I sent you a PM a few days ago that maybe got caught in a spam filter or something. Anyway, if it’s OK I’d like to ask you a few logistical questions about this trip, I have some time off at the end of August and this route is very compelling.Thanks,Jay
man, I really need to be quicker on this board.

Just throwing this out there in case anyone has a 60cm Platty frameset
they're looking to unload or would be up for trading for my 64 Clem (in
Lime Olive). Would pay $$ differential, of course. I love the Clem but got
an itch for something a little different.
Let me know if you'd be
