Man, v brakes are really the only reason I’m considering this. I also love the platypus name a lot. Can’t wait for the headbadge. That said, I’m all in on 650b, and moved all my 700c stuff a while back. If 55cm was 650b, I probably wouldn’t be able to resist, but as it is there is too much over

I like Platypus. It's a unique animal with an odd charisma, which is a good fit for this frame - there's nothing else like it on the market.
