I own the 2020 creamsicle orange/butterscotch frame in a 57. You can look
at the latest bikeinsights.com geo for the 58 and be really close. As to
your question, my standover with 700c X 40MM tires is approx. 855 mm (33.66
in.). Hope this helps

Hi all,
After 1 ride on my new to me Platypus, I am thinking larger tires. I have
42mm tires now because they were in the bin and would work with the bin
fenders too. How big a tire you running with fenders on your Platypus? Mine
is a 60cm for reference. I have some Rene Herse Fleecer Ridge tire
Congratsyour rims look like DT Swiss TK540 (double eyelet) rims with
the old decals. The TK540 are really strong rims if wheels were built
properly. My set were used for loaded RTW touring for over 20,000 miles
and were still true when bike was sold.

Rivendell says "up to 48mm fendered" and I've seen a few Platypus builds
with fendered Shikoro's. I have a 700x50 Gravel King on the back of my
Platypus and it looks like there's room for a fender. Clearance actually
looks tighter at the fork, both vertically to the crown and in width as the

Great information, thank you! I just unboxed my wife’s frame a couple hours
ago. Frame saver sprayed and drying now. I’m very excited to build it up
for her! She hasn’t decided on fenders or tire size yet. I did a quick test

Most of these same items are going on my new Atlantis and Gus builds. I
just have too many of each to justify petting them everyday.
Happy to provide good pictures and answer any questions, just PM me.
I'll cover anything o
Nice ones Rich and Luke!

I splurged and put Simworks Flat 65's on my Clem - They work really really
well to give a lot of clearance especially if you use something that isn't
a slick that might toss and occasional pebble.

Very Nice Mackenzy! I was actually thinking of those fenders for my Clem,
and possibly the Platypus. The SW Honjo fender is a bit more work to
install but definitely worth it in my opinion.

Admittedly, the flat 65's were probably one of the most pleasant to install
ive dealt with. Granted I have all the tools and bits and bobs. But they
just really "fit" no fuss. Hardware was great and intuitive. The Clem has
ample clearance. Only downside is the kickstand mount needs a long spacer
Hey, Tom. Great looking bike! As a new member here that has yet to get
ahold of a Rivendell, I've been eyeing the Platypus. Where do you land in
regards to your height and PBH? I'm 6ft with a PBH of 87cm, which puts me
on the same frame size as what you got. Without every being on a Rivendell,

Hi Masa, so good to “see” you on this forum! Yes, your quote and photo were so memorable it simply needed to be posted here. You are so lucky that Blue Lug is your local shop; they are creative geniuses. I love that two-color bar tape on your bars. How do you like your new Platypus? You said it’s
