Joyce, if you’re in the Portland area and can join that would be fantastic! I’d
love to meet you IRL and we could #PlatyPose together 😆

Rode the Platy late this afternoon, temperatures were hitting the triple
digits, the wind out of the South felt like you'd opened the oven door to
check on the pie and I was soaked through with sweat. At one point I looked
down & saw that curly heart cut in the head tube lug and it made me smile

i can't speak to the direct comparison, but i've been riding 559s on my
homer hilsen for a decade without a complaint. i find them perfectly able,
even in the rain or on questionable / mountain bikey terrain (the kind of

I've never used the GB brake, but I've found the R559 to be particularly
weak. The long arms flex so much, I had to set the pads at the very bottom
of the brake track so the brake pads wouldn't hit the tire as the arms
flexed up during a stop. And in the wet, they barely stop at all.
Super long re

The R559s work much better than Diacompe 750s (in my hands), but I don't
have experience with the GBs. The Compass/Mafac do really well too, but I
haven't had those on the same bike as R559s to do a direct comparison.

Birkenstocks have been my go-to for summer riding. I have the suede
versions that are probably better than the thicker leather ones.
I'd like to keep this going as long as I can so I'll need to get the wool
socks out soonish.

Hi all,
I bought my Sam Hillborne built up with Grand Bois centerpulls (with the
stirrup for mounting on the brakes bridge, not posts). I have been sort of
disappointed/concerned by the stopping power. I take my Sam all over the
place, and probably descend on some trails that blur the line of MT
On the hunt for nitto albatross bars - ideally heat-treated alu vs CrMo but
could go either way. Final piece for finishing up an Atlantis build.
Anyone holding? Ideally in Bay Area.

Nice write up Bill,
Adam, like you, I find I also need a bit more fuel than what Bill was
carrying. For me, electrolytes are crucial, I seem to get cramps pretty
easily. I’ve been a big fan of Nuun hydration tabs.
Food-wise, Clif or Ivan bars are always good, but sometimes I also like to

Good morning Ray,
Having spoken with The Team as my Platypus build comes together (with 700c
x 47 tires and fenders) my understanding is that clearance is the main
consideration. I personally went with Deore V brakes, based on their
recommendation (which cost a little bit more but not much) (and I
Good stuff Ariel! Both bikes are looking so good. Stoked to get out and
ride with you two!

The best Hawaiian shirts are rayon so I'd look here and see if anything
works. But a trim fit is tough to get as the traditional shirts are the
opposite. Of my several shirts, the one from Kalaheo has the best cut.

I am enjoying all of these photos but the one from Japan with the majestic
old tree is fantastic. This seems appropriate for a Rivendell as I can
imagine hobbits and elves lurking in the woods behind.

stell frame, lots of clearance and 650B wheels seems like a nice setup. I
never rode one but my guess is that it could be a great bike if your wife
is comfortable on it. The 1x setup is pretty good with a wide range of
gears and they are using a sunrace cassette which have better gearing than

My LBS has a Marin Larkspur 2 in stock. When I saw it in the shop, my first

was that it's a knock-off of the Clem-L or Platypus.
