Got the 50cm ordered. Now we wait. I’m the meantime I think I’ll sit down with her and see which bits she’s like to use on this build to make it her own so that I can start looking around for them. On Friday, October 20, 2023 at 2:39:09 AM UTC-4 schralp wrote: > I was in a similar situation las

[RBW] Re: Who’s getting a Platypus tomorrow?

Congrats to both you and your wife! Will said he felt like it would be a quick sell especially on the frames alone but it appears there is still stock of the frames. He said they were only getting like 20-some of those. Either sales have finally come way down from their peak OR (and probably pr

Re: [RBW] Re: Who’s getting a Platypus tomorrow?

I am also surprised there are so many frames left. And we don’t know how many completes we started with so not sure how many sold. But the 55 Sergio complete is long gone and some of the other sizes and colors of the completes are dwindling. At any rate, I am so excited for more people to experienc

Re: [RBW] Re: Who’s getting a Platypus tomorrow?

Maybe this is a good indication that the purple color is just not popular. It's had its run, so maybe this should be the last for it. On Friday, October 20, 2023 at 8:54:56 AM UTC-4 Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > I am also surprised there are so many frames left. And we don’t know how > man

Re: [RBW] Re: Best way to arrange 2-cog manual shifting for "single speed" disc braked bicycle

Thanks, John. I'd not seen that before. Funny, the Monocog has track ends with considerable room for axle movement but it has the old fashioned caliper mounts with no such adjustment. Perhaps that answers my question as two whether the caliper could accommodate 1/4" of axle movement. On Thu, Oct

[RBW] How do you fix your leather saddle creaks and squeaks?

At some point this week, my new (to me) Atlantis developed a creak whenever I pedaled. While standing and cranking, nothing... so saddle or seatpost, right? The Brooks B17 I have on it is very old and broken in, and it has never creaked before, but I decided to take it off, greased the rails, a

[RBW] Re: How do you fix your leather saddle creaks and squeaks?

Glad you were able to finally pinpoint and resolve it! Been there a few times in recent years among various builds. One was a known creaky sprung saddle (Conquest) that, similar to your approach, was eliminated with some extra Proofide worked around the metal frame. That particular saddle jus

Re: [RBW] Re: Who’s getting a Platypus tomorrow?

It maybe so. If I were buying for myself I’d buy a green. I was kind of surprised that my wife liked the green over purple but she did. I agree with her that it’ll probably look best with her purple Paul brake levers and thumbes though. I’m thinking about getting a Clem complete out of the nex

[RBW] Re: WTB: Crumbworks KT (Silver)

I knew I didn't have one, because I didn't know what a Crumbworks KT even is. Just in case anybody else is curious here's what I found: I cut and pasted "Crumbworks KT" into the googler and it appears that is a wide Nitto handlebar. Crust has it in black and silver. It's a wide (720mm) swep
