Perhaps Leah can chime in, but I believe that French blue was an early run

Agreed, Keith. I use the bike mostly on road, but my 2016 46cm Appaloosa
has Surly Extra Terrestrial 26 x 46mm aka 1.95" and I really like that
tire and bike combo. The bike came to me as a complete, with Kenda 1.75"

If you can find one, the 50cm Cheviot, the precursor to the Platypus, is a
little bit smaller than the 50cm Platy. It also has the lugged construction
