with any luck, we’ll find one during riding season, and if not, there are
Roadinis coming to Riv this fall. The Racing Platypus is still plenty up to

Andrew,
That's a great looking build. The silver is classic and I like the black
and silver parts together. Nice wheelset too. What parts are you changing?

The 47 is the previous geometry, I think. I compared the two on Bike
Insights and there is quite a difference, more so than you'd think between
the sizes. The 47 has much less stack and the top tube is about 4 cm
shorter. I'd hold out for a 50 in the newer geometry if I were Leah. The

Even with integrated shifters, the down-tube bosses give you a perfect spot

You bet, Patrick. I'm new at this so from when I arrive at the river to
launching the boat is about 30 minutes. Same with the deflation and pack

in much of a hurry.
