I currently own a platypus, Homer, and Betty Foy. In the past, I’ve also owned an Appaloosa. . I’ve ridden. the Sam Hillbourne. but just for testing purposes.
Homer rides most light and nimbly, and Appaloosa rides most “Cadillac “ like., very solid, passing over potholes as if they were not there. Platy rides more nimbly than Appaloosa but not as mich as Homer. From my recollection, Platy ride feels lighter than Sam did. for ride quality, I’d probably liken it closest to Sam but better.
