Haha. Yes Doug the saddle is up there. I've got a 93.5 PBH. The saddle height in that photo is 84cm. Steve, the bike is so new it doesn't feel like my own. I was tinkering with it over the weekend trying to figure out what I wanted to change. I think the first thing I want to do is change the

Tim, it looks like your Platypus is coming together nicely. Here's another thumbs up for Billie bars on a a Platypus. Aesthetically, to my eye, they compliment the bike's flowing lines. More importantly though, their ergos suit me. Spring is on the way!!! When all that snow starts to melt

That's a nice bike! I totally agree about trigger shifters, they work and I love them. The derailleur my trigger works with on my Clem (SRAM) is also pretty ugly but I can't see it while it's working fabulously on a ride. No problem!  Joe Bernard On Friday, January 12, 2024 at 11:28:40 AM

Another happy Platypus owner. I’m so happy you’re enjoying it; it will be fun to see what customizations you arrive at as you discover how you’d like the setup to be. Starting with new Paul brakes, so I hear! On Friday, January 12, 2024 at 2:28:40 PM UTC-5 Tim Bantham wrote: > We had a rare 41

Looks nice. I also thought the Billies were a perfect bar for the Platy. I have it on a tall 10cm stem (it doesn't come longer than 10 cm) and found I needed to remove 1cm from the bars to make it perfect. On Friday, January 12, 2024 at 2:57:45 PM UTC-5 tio ryan wrote: > Looking good! I too

Looking good! I too was pleasantly surprised how silent the rear hub is. You're making me want a frame pump :) On Friday, January 12, 2024 at 2:42:45 PM UTC-5 Tim Bantham wrote: > [image: IMG_4837.jpeg] > > On Friday, January 12, 2024 at 2:28:40 PM UTC-5 Tim Bantham wrote: > >> We had a rare
