Leah, aka Bicycle Belle Ding Ding would be a good person to comment since
she has both. I'd go for the Platypus. I have the precursor which was the
Betty Foy and love it. And it's the follow up to your Cheviot. Please let
her pick out the color. And all the RivSisters will have fun helping
Nice bike but what size is it? I only the sizes Riv offers. I'm on the
short end 47. When was it built? Was it a protoype for the Betty Foy or
Cheviot?

Thanks. I just got a very nice used one and I'm curious how much bigger it

I'm up for a ride! Any of the ideas mentioned so far are great. I like
getting north of the city, I like rockaways w/ roll n' roaster, hitting all
the bridges... really can't go wrong.

This legitimately might be one of the coolest niche Rivendell builds I've

Multiple Roscos and multiple bills aren’t adding up, and ever since I put
it together, it hasn’t snowed😩. So here for sale is the bestest bike for
the larger folks out there. I think it measures 64 at the seat tube, but
I’ve got a geometry chart somewhere I’ll plug in here asap.

This, plus the RH page, explains flop well. One way I notice it is, how
inclined is the front wheel on a bike to turn to one side or the other when
you are standing next to it and holding it up by the saddle? Jim G's trail
calculator page includes a calculation for flop:

Sounds fun!
The Putnam trail North of Van Cortland is pretty, and ridiculously safe
with decent enough parking for those carventuring in.
But I f it’s excitement and real city feels everyone’s craving, maybe a

This sign was new so I thought I would get a photo. Watch out for vultures.

Jock Dewey, That bike is a vision of the perfectly proportioned bicycle in
my opinion. Uncluttered, though there is a place for utilitarian racks,
bags, etc. on bikes for other uses than the pure joy of riding. A lot of
thought went into it, obviously, from the quietly understated color to the
My Platy with Bosco bars, Nitto R-14, large Saddlesack, tool kit, Dyad
wheels, frame pump, dynamo lighting, etc weighs about the same as Kim's
naked Clem. So from a weight perspective it's more about the "build and
bags" than the frame, in reality.
