Kai, thank you for sharing those photos of your Rosco. I love the custom ergo-grips! I appreciate hearing how much you like yours and I’ll be sure to never give up the search for one my size!
Jared, if anyone reaches out to me with a large (too big for me) I’ll be sure to let you know. And thanks for your words of encouragement! Ray, the new Rosco-Platy’s look great but they are lacking the features that make the Rosco MMM the ideal bike for me. There really is nothing about the MMM that I’d change if I were to order a custom….right down to the color. As much as I am tempted to jump on a Rosco-Platy, I think they’d best end up in the hands of someone who really loves every aspect of it. Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this endeavor! I love the community surrounding these beautiful bikes :-) Joe > On Jan 30, 2022, at 6:02 PM, Ray Varella <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Keep in mind that there is a run of Roscoe Bubbe Platypuses on the way. > > They will easily fit the same size or larger tire than the earlier MMM > Three sizes, two colors. > > Ray > On Sunday, January 30, 2022 at 5:31:30 PM UTC-8 [email protected] > <http://gmail.com/> wrote: > Kai, > > Don't you have 2 of those Roscos? > > Thats my dream Rivendell so if you did want to at some point downsize I'd be > happy to entertain the idea.... > > I'm sure there's a list of people who have said the same thing, but add my > name to it if there's a sliver of possibility there. > > Joe, > > Good luck with your search, I always keep an eye out for a large Rosco Step > Thru, so I know where you're coming from. > > You'll land one eventually, hopefully sooner than later! > > Best > Jared in SLO, CA > > On Sunday, January 30, 2022 at 5:13:19 PM UTC-8 Kainalu V. -Brooklyn NY wrote: > People will try to tell you different, but the truth is there's no better > bike in the world than Rosco Bubbe step through...
