FS: Platypus 60cm - Choose Your Own Adventure

This frame is a quick catch and release from another list member in efforts to thin the stable. This one just wasn’t for me!

Selling this as rolling chassis, frame/fork or complete with some options. In excellent condition, one small ding in paint on top tube (pictured).

Important details for the discerning buyer:
