Does that tempt you to swap out your Platypus frame, Armand?
I ride my Appaloosa on all manner of ill-advised trails ("your bike has a
basket and you're riding it here?!") so better trail riding sounds
fantastic.
I'll carry on with my underbiking though, as I always have. The updates
sound grea
Glad I reserved one with Analog Cycles. Have a feeling they’re going to sell out fast!Sent from my iPhoneOn Aug 12, 2024, at 7:43 PM, Armand Kizirian wrote:FYI I spoke to Grant over the phone today and the new Appaloosa's are indeed slacker. They have a 70 degree head tube angle in order to incre
FYI I spoke to Grant over the phone today and the new Appaloosa's are

On the topic of Appaloosas, and entering the realm of pure speculation:
With a slacker head tube angle (using the Atlantis lugs?) and wider tyre
clearance, the Appaloosa sounds very similar indeed to the prev
Not derailing at all! Well done on resisting temptation. I agree with you
that the Hog's Back meets a very similar use case to the Joe: an all-round,
all-road tourer that can do anything and go anywhere, if slowly. I was
eyeing off a Hog's Back before I picked up the Joe! Would you mind sharing
I was vey tempted to get a green one but having thought extensively
about it, I think I will keep my Bassi Hog's Back and ride that. Aside from
the very long rear end, the reach is pretty similar and its been hard for
me to justify selling a whole bike for less than the cost of a frame,

Some great sleuthing and info here!
I’ll add in another one that I’m pretty sure I’m not imagining: the chain
stays look a tad shorter.

Despite everyone providing fantastic advice regarding my Sam rebuild. I must admit, I am still incredibly interested in replacing the Sam with a green Joe.Regarding tire clearance specifically…Grant told me this run of Joes would now match current Atlantis tire clearances.R,DrewSent from my iPhone
