Stutz also offered a Bearcat model, which would be a badass bicycle name. I feel my Fitz SuperMoto could carry that name pretty well. Fitz Bearcat! https://www.instagram.com/p/CCNSmOpFtdt/?igshid=1w8hwb1o7vp0n Philip Pro-platypus in Santa Rosa, CA -- You received this message because you are

On the other hand, it will probably be a lot easier to spot a stolen Platypus than a TR-r500Sli. Or whatever.(And anyway, aren't we disbanding the police?) Naming vehicles after animals has a long tradition. While horses, cats, and birds get the most attention, you could look at the upcoming

Haha man, I thought platypus was a welcome return to form after the years of human named bikes (some of which make me cringe). I the logo, color and headbadge look great. I see no problem with the name. I’ll take an interesting animal over a fictional human any day. -- You received this

The decals & the prototype head badge are gorgeous; the name is a head scratchier! Cheviot was a stretch, but Platypus sounds like a self destructive miscalculation. I really don;t care about the name myself, but I hope your Platypus doesn't get stolen! I thought the COP in my case was not

Seafoam is way more blue, and lighter. It’s like a 1950s color. This is bluer than moss, but a similar value. I’ve got a plant in my yard with leaves that color. It’s flowers are orangy-red bells. I love the platypus, and these graphics are incredible. I saw a platypus in the wild once, and

To clarify I was suggesting putting the brake lugs on the underside of the mid stays, not on the chainstays. I don't think they would get gunked worse there than on the top as they are on that prototype, and I would think the cable routing was cleaner that way. YMMV of course. On Thursday, June

I think the cable arrangement is fine the way it is. Putting brakes on the chainstays attracts gunk; keeping them on the midstays and running the cable up top would, I think, detract from the pretty line along the toptube. Where it's situated now with the frame-pump stop envisions the brake

Please, please, please. On the final design either put the v-brake studs on the bottom of the mid stays or put the rear brake cable stops on the top of the "top" tube. Brake cable should NOT cross the plane of the mid stays. On Thursday, June 11, 2020 at 12:21:03 PM UTC-7, Bicycle Belle Ding

Let's hope they're not as difficult to see as the animal itself. In 40-odd years of living in platypus territory, I've only seen them in the wild three times. And BTW, male platypus have poison spurs on their hind legs. Nick Canberra -- You received this message because you are subscribed to
