I've always gone Shimano as well, but I've read positive things about
Sunrace (Taiwan-based) and the quality of their "lower end" components.
When I was at RBW they mentioned it's a new thing going to Sunrace with
some of the completes and I trust they would only spec them if they were
good.
Thanks for your comments on the drive train. I somehow missed the part
about the rear derailleur being a SunRace I thought it was one of the
Shimano variants that Riv carries. I'm a little disappointed by that since
I have always gravitated towards Shimano. I thought the front derailleur
was t
Yes, although I'm in range for a 55cm it would have required a longer stem
and huge amount of seat post showing for the same setup. I always go as a
big as possible with Riv frames.
I forgot to mention 2 things:
- The novatech rear hub with the stock wheelset is one of quietest hubs
I've ever
Seems like a perfect fit - to think a 55cm frame would result in 50mm more
seatpost (and the stack would be a few cm's lower)
This looks great, not to mention proportional and comfortable

Brett, Congrats on the new Platypus. I built one up this past summer (50cm
with 650b wheels) and have been loving it. I have to concur with your first
impression - not particularly fast, but supremely comfortable. And I'll add

Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the ride report. I look forward to the
arrival of my Sergio green Platy even more now!

Some additional info some may find useful (I couldn't put in original
message because too long)
- Roman confirmed this morning it does not come with a saddle so I think
website description wrong (there was a discussion about this somewhere).
- Cranks are 173s (for 60cm anyway).
- Tires are 48mm
...wouldn't allow me to post all the info (too longer) so here some
additional info some may find useful:
- Roman told me this morning it does not come with a saddle so I think the
website might be wrong. Was fine though as I knew I'd go B67.
- Cranks are 173s (was important for me).
- Tires ar
Nice...glad it worked out so well for you!
