That is mine. It is listed at $1600 to cover the listing cost. Will sell for $1400 + shipping to anyone here that is interested. Eric Menlo Park On Sunday, January 24, 2021 at 7:50:20 PM UTC-8 Jason D wrote: > A nice looking Roadeo frameset on eBay - > https://www.ebay.com/itm/353364415765 >

Why not consider a one-off custom that combines the best features of your Clem, Platypus, and all the features that you'd like to add to those? There are a surprising number of custom builders across the country, and while some are better at some things than others, I expect that you'd find one or

Where does step through start? I consider my Rosco mountain a step through, but I do need to lift my leg a bit. I think Clem L is lower, but I've never swung a leg through one. -Kai On Sunday, January 24, 2021 at 11:21:14 PM UTC-5 Kainalu V. -Brooklyn NY wrote: > There's a famous one in

You know I’m a Clem-lover, and mine took me through the worst days of my life this last year. It’s nearly perfect and has only one tiny flaw - it’s a bit heavy/overbuilt for a woman my size. I’m also a Platypus lover, and it’s only drawback is that I miss my step-through top tube. Otherwise

Andrew, that's a great looking bike. The blackwall Bon Jons look just fine to me. Agree on your assessment of the Dia Compe 980s. Patrick Moore asked about the 980s: setup is no easier or more difficult than other cantis I've used (Paul, Shimano); silver finish! No squeal with Kool Stop pads. The

I wish I'd been able to use your powder coater when I had my last frame, late spring 2020, powdercoated. The builder used a new vendor who did a pretty mediocre job; not *horrible,* but if you look really closely, you can see orange peel-type roughness in certain areas. Too bad, because the

Nice work! There used to be a page in the Rivendell Readers where they would "Rivendellize" an old bike to get the bars up and make it functional, this reminds me of that. I dig the battleship gray on those old Treks, it's a beauty!  Joe Bernard On Sunday, January 24, 2021 at 9:21:29 AM UTC-8
