That is a handsome bikeyeah, fun to swap out parts to make it your own
and those are fine choices. That Sergio Green is a subtle color and I like
those matching grips

Tim, please pardon my disagreement, but I think your description of the
Platy's ride quality is perfect - "sublime". Anything more would just be
so many words.
Though it's a 50cm frame set with 650b wheels, my 2022 Platypus is built up
similar to yours - Billie bars, B17 saddle, front rack,
Love a Platypus with Billie Bars. Happy riding!

Great looking Platy, Tim. And I'm not just saying that because mine is
setup similarly. :)
It does have a lovely ride quality to it - easy going yet zippy; ""cruisy
zoomy".

YES! I was having hard time figuring out why I didn’t like it. This is
exactly it! I usually LOVE lugged frames, but this lug feel unfinished so o
my eye. As I said before; the fillet made it flow and I think a similar
flow could have been made here with a different shape. But the way the
stays
It’s a lug that could use a little something to make it look less klunky. I’m not a fan of the part that connects the stays… To me it looks like old plumbing fittings. If it were shaped a bit more elegantly, it would look so much better.On Oct 9, 2023, at 7:51 AM, DavidP wrote:Keith, the BB
Interesting how our tastes are so individual. I greatly prefer the lugged
joint. I was looking at the pictures in the newsletter, without
consciously noticing what had changed, and thinking to myself: "why did I
dismiss this model until now? These are just about perfect." Does anybody
Gonna say I’m also more a fan on the fillet brazed variant but I can
understand from a cost and production standpoint why they might have
switched, lugs being easier to produce with less skill (relatively
speaking). Shame, though. The fillet brazing on the Gus was one of the big
attractions to me.
I hadn't noticed this! I liked the fillet brazed junction better too but it
definitely looked like a pain in the butt to fabricate. The new lug (old
lug - I am sure Allan's right) does have a clean and tidy look too. A
friend's Platy has a pretty noticeable blem in the brazing too, maybe
Cost was probably involved. The fillet brazing on the original Platypus
would be very time consuming and more difficult in a factory setting than
connecting a few tubes with lug.

Probably unpopular opinion but I like the original better. The way the
mid-stays start in front of the seattube and wrap around it looks more
elegant to me.
