Still available when I checked a couple days ago. I wish I could make it
work for me.

Oddly enough, I had the same experience with my Rosco Platypus. The
seatpost bolt was very tight to turn, but worked sort of okay for almost a
week through a few adjustments due to trying different saddles. Then as I
was turning onto my street after a ride, the seatpost slammed down. The

I think I said it backwards, and Joe got it right about stem extension. The
Albatross needs less extension than bars like the Bosco, but more than the
Noodle.

Albatross is great for what you are talking about; that was pretty much
what it was designed for. I bought the original CroMo version when if first
came out and liked it but did go back to the Noodle bar for general use
then. Now I like more upright and the Albatross was designed to get you
The Platypus sounds perfect for you. I got the Rosco Platypus with the same
geometry and am amazed at how versatile it is. It is turning into my
favorite mountain bike, and for everything else too. Yes, the "top tube" is
shorter than the Gus, but far longer than most bikes. I was surprised that
It is interesting to read how much our individual situations vary. I'm
lucky to live where bike theft isn't a big deal. I know one friend who had
a bike stolen in the past many years. He left it unlocked on the his back
porch. Then another friend spotted someone riding it on the rail trail and
I don't think the single kickstands put all that much stress on the plate.
The double stands are a whole nother thing. I have no idea how people use
theirs, but there is a temptation to push the bike off of the stand (like
on a motorcycle) rather than pick the rear of the bike up and close the
My Rosco Platypus came with the fork off, but lots of extra packing added
to the box by Rivendell. I ordered the Park derailleur alignment tool since
that is the bike shop standard and not that much money. I was surprised how
far the tab was out of alignment, but it was no big deal to put it
I was just looking at the Rivendell site and see that the mid sizes is
actually 54 and 57, not 54 and 58, and that the 57 would be fine for me. I
think some info in this thread might be from a previous run.

Oh my, that is pretty. It may even beat out the creamsicle Rambouillet for
prettiest Rivendell, at least to my taste. I take it I've missed the

getting a 54" when my other Rivs are 60 to 62. The sizing of the Susie feel

Thinner rim tape can really help with a tight tire/rim combination. I
prefer Velox rim tape, but have one set of 26" wheels that are nearly
impossible to mount tires on. Switching to a thin plastic rim strip made
them doable. These were just some cheapies I had around, but I picked up a

I'm kind of sorry I missed the Susie pre-order sale, and will probably be
sorry if I miss the Appaloosa sale.

I'm enjoying the way this thread has gone, but then I am thinking of an
Appaloosa, and do air dry most of my clothes.
I strongly prefer the stiffer feel of shirts and pants (all kinds) when air
dried but my wife does not, so it is going to be a personal preference.
That soft fluffy feel from
e 9 just wasn’t close enough for my liking. This is

Hi Leah,
This is my first post, but I've been following your Clem adventures and the
other Clem talk here. I'm glad you got the fit issue worked out.
I've wanted a Clem for a while now and almost bought the web special 59,
but really like this new geometry, so decided to wait (plus wanting
