Ok, with those trails the Joe might do you better than the Sam. You’ll just have to figure out the best stem combo for your drops. -Nathan Mattia “I saw a tiger. Now I understand. I saw a tiger and the tiger saw a man.” > On Dec 26, 2020, at 8:47 AM, Philip Barrett wrote: > > Stil

Re: [RBW] Re: To My Platypus People!

What handlebars are people thinking of running? I'm between quite a few at the moment and am having trouble making up my mind: Albatross, Billie, Osprey, Granola, Ahearne, Jones Bend, phew, that's a lot. I thought to look at Cheviot builds for inspiration, but it seems like 95% of those frames

Re: [RBW] Re: Susie Longbolts vs Platypus for both pavement & off-road riding?

he perfect Platypus tires for mixed surface riding. Personally, I'd only get a Gus / Susie if I absolutely *needed* a big MTB tire. That would be riding trails, and by that I mean single track, not unpaved paths and gravel roads, 95% of the time. If you'd only like a 2.2" max,

Re: [RBW] New Sam Auction Color

It's beautiful. I'm tempted… but is a 56cm Sam too small for me? I'm 5'11", 88 PBH, SH usually around 77-78. Would that result in a lotta seatpost showing / would a 60cm Sam fit me better? -nathan On Friday, March 4, 2011 at 7:51 AM, scott wrote: > Holy Sm

Re: [RBW] Re: New Sam Auction Color

Thanks for the input, William. In my book that's a lotta seat post & stem. Why are you glad you chose the 56? Was the TT too long on the 60? If so what TT length and stem extension do you normally prefer on a 'non-expanded' frame? -nathan On Friday, March 4, 2011 at 10:2
