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 On Thursday, November 24, 2022 at 9:17:07 AM UTC

[RBW] Platypus max tire with fenders?

2022-11-25 Thread Tom Palmer
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. On Friday, November 25, 2022 at 3:52

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 di

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
