I admired this bike when CL posted it, such a stunning build! And I agree, the folks at CL Cycles are truly great. Even though I'm on the far end of the country they're my favourite Canadian shop. I hope to pay them a visit next year! The front fender positioning stresses me out a little bit, being that low to the ground, but I must note that I ride off curbs, on trails etc. I presume you are much more careful than I am in that regard.
I want my own Platypus, dang it. On Tuesday, 26 November 2024 at 19:53:06 UTC-8 Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > Another satisfied Platypus rider!
