Sergio Green and Dark Gold, both frames and completes. Unclear specs on the

Well, I for one, am glad to hear it. Waiting for the next round of Platypuses is probably going to take too long, and it’s still riding season NOW. So, I’m thrilled for you and I hope you will post photos and give us your thorough review!LeahOn Aug 10, 2023, at 9:52 AM, Justin Kennedy
Ended up ordering that 60cm Platy from C Will keep you posted with the
build etc. Selling my Clem to a friend. Cheers everyone.

That Cheviot is HOT! That bike had one of the best headbadges.

As far as club rides are concerned for and with the Clem, I would say yes,
if most everyone in the group is moving at a slow pace.

Clem, too. I ride solo. I am not in a big hurry to get where I am going. I
enjoy the ride. Yes, it is a heavy bike. I do not know how much it weighs.
However, I am not bothered by the weight, because of it is truly the
Joe, I'm not disputing people's experiences. I believe them as told. I am
just saying that the geometry is pretty darn similar. So I am not sure what
would make one feel more "nimble" than another. None of Rivendell's bikes
have the lightest of tubes. Its all spec'd to what they feel makes
Speed is not an issue for me and my ole Clem as I ride almost exclusively
solo. My question about Clem/Platypus was again in jest. Leah has ridden
both more than most and so her opinion and comparison has credibility to
me. That being said, I like the style of the Clem better which is obviously
Johnny,
Her Clem and Platypus (the one she uses on club rides) have similar builds
(including the wheelsets) so you can take that out of the equation. The
frames are not the same, Platy is a lighter-tubed pavement-oriented bike
patterned after the Sam Hillborne. I'm quite sure she's right
The matchmaker at work again!

Haha! You can indeed be shocking. My point is that the Platy is not really
a club rider. It can be made to be closer to one but you don't have it
decked out that way. If I was going to use it for fast rides I would lose
the fenders and racks, go to light drops with brifters, even lighter wheels
I can be shocking! But I had my blue Clem as my only Riv for a long time, and I had it set up as best I could with light parts and wheels and tires and still I was exhausted riding it at speed and up hills. The Platy solved that for me, and I had light parts on both and had Analog build both
I am shocked Leahas someone who regularly takes a bike with extra
weight and a non-ideal gear ranges on club rides I think its unfair to
label the Clem as not suitable for the same. I (personally) would probably
make changes to a Platy set up as such before using it for club rides but
YES
Doug, Well, I can tell you in earnest! Now, you know I’m on your side about Clem-loving. I will never sell mine. But the Platy is more nimble and fits me like a glove. I race it around on club rides. But I can also haul a bunch of stuff with it. What can you not do with the Platy? Well, gravel
What is it about the Platypus that relegates the Clem to not quite good
enough? I ask in jest. I'm loving my Clem and if I bought a Platy it would
have to be Clem plus one. I hope you find one in trade Justin but like Leah
said it seems folks don't move on from a Platypus often.

I love my blue Clem but dark green and orange sounds sooo nice.

Are they coming in Sergio Green? I had heard silver and Ana Purple but that
was many months ago. They maybe changed it. Do you know what the second
color will be?
Good luck with your search. I love a Platy above all else. I bet you don’t
sell it, even in 2 years when you get the itch to try
Thanks Leah. I saw that, but was hoping to get one at a used price or to
trade. Otherwise, I may hold out until the Sergio Green plattys are
released (September according to the most recent calendar?)
Like I said, I love my Clem but yes, I miss the Cheviot and am itching for

you missing your old Chev? I have both bikes and I find the Platypus far
superior to my Clem so I get it. I’ll get to looking…
