Well, it sounds like you might have two great bikes to choose from. You can
make the Platy fit with shorter cranks and careful selection for saddle and
seat post. If you like the new bike, it sounds like you’ll have a lot more
options for those three items.

Lugged Clem? We have a lugged Roadini now so it's certainly possible.

This is so interesting. "Grocery getter, do everything bike." That could
apply to the Clem for sure. How will it differ I wonder??? H.

So I guess the new bike is not a kids bike then. This sounds a lot like a

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful answers.
I got measured at a bike shop and they confirmed that my PBH is 72 and my
saddle height is 63. It's cutting it close on the 50cm platypus frame. I
spoke to Will on the phone and he said that the minimum saddle height of
the Platypus is 63cm so I'd p
Ditto, Pam. If you're near Indianapolis, you can give the Platty a spin.

Also, it's worth noting that if you use shorter cranks, for instance 155 or
160mm, your saddle height would go up 10-15mm compared to 160mm cranks.
This, combined with Steve's photo, gives me full confidence you could get
the saddle to the correct height without running out of room as long as y
I would suggest giving Riv a quick email or call and they could certainly
give advice or even quickly measure up (especially if you know your
preferred saddle height) to make sure it'd be a good fit. I had a brief
exchange with Will about whether or not I would fit a 64cm Clem given I was

My wife runs a 50cm platypus with a PBH of 78. She runs the saddle lower,
like at the height of someone with a 72 PBH, which she's more comfortable
with. I believe you'd be fine.

Steve's photo is the type of thing you need to base your decision on. One
important fact about Steve's photo is it shows a fairly LOW profile
saddle. Some saddles, sprung Brooks saddles in particular, are themselve a
LOT taller than the saddle Steve shows. Keep that in mind.
Also, your PBH
ccajita, I can offer this. I ride a 50cm Platy. With a PBH of 81 my seat
post shows 102mm of usable length (i.e. it could be dropped 102mm lower),
so I think you'd be fine.Steve

I don’t know what area you are in but there is a 50 cm Roscoe Platypus frame on the Rivendell Facebook list. I’m not sure if this link will work but I will try.Rivendell Bicycles BUY/SELL/TRADE | Rosco Platypus 50cm frame set | Facebookfacebook.comOn Feb 12, 2025, at 08:53, Dorothy C wrote:If you
