Originally it was supposed to come in a flat black you could bang around on

It's brake hole to rim center you gotta get right. A medium-reach caliper

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
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.

DT for front is great because it's an occasional reach for one or two big

I think Grant means don't go jumping logs on his road bike and expect the
frame to take it. In my mind gravel and dirt roads are "trails", but I've
been on much gnarlier stuff than that.

The latest (at time of this posting, readers of the future) Grant's Blahg
says the less expensive mostly-not-lugged version of the Platypus is still
in the works. I want to see this, I think a lighter-gauge TIG-ed droptube
companion to those stout Clem L's would be sweet.

he city, I might even try it
on a couple dirt switchbacks just to see what happens. I used to ride
XO-1's and 3's that way, this feels quite similar to those bikes. Go get
one!

*Historical note: My frame was being designed at the same time as the
Platypus, I think it's basically a Platy prototype without the curvy
mid-stays!

Huh, I hadn't noticed the 2.2 reference before. Riv needs to fact-check
that page because earlier it states max is 50mm, which is about 1.96
inches.

Ah, that makes sense. I didn't remember that any Hunqs were built in Taiwan
but I do remember the first couple runs being priced that way..it was
originally the way-cheaper version of Bombadil.

That's a nice bike! Could be Toyo but probably Waterford, to my knowledge
this model was never produced in Taiwan (and certainly not priced that
way). There may be a 'W" in the serial number.

I would recommend looking at the geometry chart on the latest Clem L before
committing to a 52. I'm 5'-6", 79-80-ish PBH and even with Boscos that bike
would be too stretched out for me. I need a 45.

I've owned both and can't say there's a definitive "one is better" answer
for you. The Appa may theoretically be stiffer on a trail but that's not
necessarily a benefit on a non-suspended bike. It's probably a little
lighter than Clem, and it's a more expensive full-lugs frame so there's
that.
), and availability. Heck, you can choose
based on the name you like best!

I hate that. I know the logic behind it, but I'm never going to be ok with
the listed tool size being different from the thing the tool turns.
