Her Platys have the same 53cm chainstays as my custom, and my ETT of 63 compares to the Platy 61.5. Add 700c wheels on hers vs. 650b on mine and it's a wash, we own long bikes!Joe Bernard

While we're at it, it would be fun I think for you to consider what's the wheelbase of Joe Bernard's custom.#SWBSTBL in EC

Please and thank youI think it would be HOT if you had a sporty short wheelbase Riv step-through in your ARSENAL. Mrs Bubba used to own a 52cm Gomez, but now she's on a 50cm Platy and it's not actively for sale. Although if you were eager to lease it for an extended period, I bet she could be convinced. Hers is Mermaid, and its full end to end length is 72 inches, plus or minus a quarter-inch, with 650B x 48 Rene Herse knobbies and no fenders.Bill LindsayEl Cerrito, CAOn Saturday, November 11, 2023 at 1:27:55 PM UTC-8 Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote:I have a question that is probably only going to be academic. But maybe not. I’ve done crazier things.Anyway, I have an 81 cm PBH. I sized up to the 55 cm Platypus (PBH range starts at 82 cm) and I love the fit. I adore my bikes. You can’t have them, I won’t sell them, don’t even ask. BUT, they are long. Too long for buses and for Amtrak. I desperately want to take Amtrak to Chicago with my bike for the first time, but my bike is too long. RivSister Kate says she can get her 50 cm Platypus on Amtrak if she undoes her V brakes and lets some air out of her tire. But, I’m 5’6” and I don’t know if I could ride that little bike. I don’t have one locally to try.Also, I’d want the lime olive, which would be very hard to find. Anyway, thanks for participating in my thought experiment. That might be a real experiment. Probably not. There’s likely a limit to how many Platys a girl can have.Leah

Go ride it, Sarah! I'm the same height as y'all and I rode the first 50cm prototype, it felt great.
