Eric Marth asked about tubing; This one was built with Reynolds 725. Not
sure if stays/blades are the same, but that's what I was told.
Jim- It's definitely tighter at the stays than the fork, but 42's fit the
fork easily and in the rear with sufficient clearance if the wheel is at

And in regards to the 1up w/ a fendered bike; this was my only attempt thus
far and no issue on the 2.5 hr trip home via the interstate. I've seen
others use a pool noodle on the contact point around the rack's "arm" which
seems to add cushion yet keep the contact point tight enough to trust it.
Sold. Thanks.

How wonderful! What is our new RivSister’s name? I’m so happy to hear that
she is loving her Platypus, and I do hope you’ll tell us more as she gets
to know it. Thanks for the introduction!

Now Joe, that's just silly. Come to think of it, this whole thread is just
silly - which is probably why I keep following it ; )

It’s about to get sillier. I made a video in response to Patrick’s thread.
I’m attaching it as a link here, since it’s too big to include in the text.
I changed my Instagram to public for this, but I’ll switch it back to

Welcome new Riv sister. It’s easy to put on miles with the Platy.

Leah,
That video was great! I laughed, and cheered!:)
I'm 6'7" tall and weigh between 230 and 260 pounds (depending upon the
season) and am both amused and annoyed at the "how much does that bike
weigh?" and "How can you ride such a heavy bike?" comments I get when I
show up for a club
Leah: I laughed my head off. For an increasingly silly thread, you
certainly capped it all.
OTOH, I could see you struggling to lift those behemoths.
Long ago, when my daughter was 5 or 6 (she will, God willing, turn 22 in
early June), I would be horsing around and playing the fool, and she would

Are you sure this isn’t a Long Low? I have a ‘99 JS Road Std, also with
short reach brakes (that probably maxes out between 32 and 35mm) and I
don’t recall the Road Std having any other brake option…

Ok I'll cut to the chase: What is the point of the threads? They seem to be
a shot at the Platypus on a Riv forum in favor of two non-Rivs, and frankly
they seem directed at a particular person. I've done my best to remain
unserious about the whole affair but I'm kinda stumped on what the purpos
Welcome Lacy. If, like me, you have enjoyed cycling most of your life then
that first ride on a Rivendell can be mind-blowing. I had no clue that a
bicycle could be so comfortable, functional and fun to ride!

"Shot at the Platypus ... directed at a particular person"? You live in a
universe different from mine.
"Point of the thread"? Absolutely none on my part except to spout a
momentary interest. What was your purpose in chiming in so enthusiastically?
Sheesh!

This entire thread fondly reminds me of "It's A Walk Off" contest from

One of the first *true (yes, **non-fictional*) accounts of male modeling.
Gotta love all the models, along with Billy Zane and David Bowie.

Looks like you can lower the new derailleur a tad. Have you tried that and
run into interference?

That may be the next move but I suspect it's a spindle length issue. This

chainrings closer together, it's not quite snapping over hard enough to the
