The DM24 and DM18 were indeed both supplied to Riv for wheelbuilding by
Rich in a 650b size, and used for OEM builds from Taiwan. Thanks to the

Im definitely going to do swept back like Billie bars bc I like the option of putting my hands forward on longer rides. I see this Platypus as a commuter, tourer, group ride zipppy bike if that helps. What I didn’t like about the 53cm Susie was how much I had to jack the seat up and handlebars but
I ride a 60cm Plat no problemo with a PBH of 87cm (admittedly I am 194 cm
tall so my proportions are atypical). It feels very zippy and smooth, even
with the parts that came on the 2023 completes (tosco 60cm and 120mm Tallux
stem I believe).
The Platypus is the most popular Riv bike for a reaso

I know you’re just being kind but I am going to write this down somewhere and bask in it from time to time! 😉🥰 Welcome to the Platypus Club! It’s so good here.On Nov 6, 2024, at 4:03 PM, Feldspar Palimpsest wrote:Leah: I am indeed, in the Metro Detroit area, and I am honored to be recognized by R
Dorothy - that is a good point. I was referring to the 650b wheels. the
DM24 is not listed as coming in 27.5 / 650b, but maybe this was an OEM
product?

Jason, I have used Pork Belly on 6 of my 8 RAGBRAI’s and heartily recommend
them. I also have heard very good things from users of Brancel, Alpaca
Adventure, and Brancel charters.
Pork Belly has a very large camp. Essentially its own self contained village!
Because of its size, it is sometim

Hi Jason
I did it several years ago and used Pork Belly. I paid for the tent rental
and setup service (split with another person), which was awesome, and the
shower trucks were REALLY nice to have at the end of the day. Would
recommend and use them again.

I agree with John on depending on the handlebar setup desired. Having gone
up a size on a clem (64) - it felt awesome with a low swept back bars and
a moderate length stem. (loscos ~110 stem) It would have never worked with
flat bars because the reach was s long even with a shorty stem. the
It may depend on what bars you'll want to use (drops vs swept back, for
example) and what your use case is for the platypus (fast road vs
cruising/commuting, for example).

Based on the 55cm Platypus that my brother-in-law has, and I have
test-ridden, I would guess you'd want the 55cm. For comparison, I'm 5' 8",
with an 83 PBH, and my brother-in-law is the same height as me, but with
probably a slightly shorter PBH.

At that size and PBH I would probably suggest 55. Are you asking about
going larger than that?

Hi there,
I currently has a 56cm Susie and ended up trading it from my 53cm. I found the
bigger frame and tires were more comfortable. I am 5’10 with an 82.5 PBH.
Now I’m buying a Platy and am in the same boat in between sizes. My PBH is just
above the bottom limit for the 55cm. I know Riv sa
I found this thread tonight regarding RAGBRAI and figured using this one is
better than starting a new one. I'm considering signing up and training
for 2025. Hoping to work out the time off work to do the whole week.
Anyone have suggestions for charters they have used ?
It would be awesome
+1 on the Bitex touring rear hub from me.
I use one on my Appaloosa and it's going great so far. Looks good. I'd
regard it as on the louder side.
Anyway I like it enough that I've ordered some more Bitex hubs for my
upcoming Roadini build.
