I spy a yellow Platypus

Did you see the yellow platy on Insta? OMG!

Posting here for those without social media accounts

Oooh nice! I feel like Leah mentioned someone getting a Platypus and wanting to paint it yellow fairly recently...within the last 6 months or so. 

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

Yes! Good eye, Max! And Ryan, good memory! My RivSister (we met on Instagram) wanted a yellow Platy and we have been planning and dreaming for weeks, and here it finally is. I will start a new thread about her bike (she asked me to because she isn’t in love with technology) tonight, probably late. She’s out riding and is on West Coast time and I’m in Eastern, so there’s a little delay. Anyway, as soon as she answers the questions I have and hands me the photos she wants, I’ll be back with the details. I’m so happy for her!

Cool!

Yes, this is the dream realized Yellow Platypus! And I have been very very absent from social media because I cannot stop riding this bike!

I'm not a yellow bike fan, but I have to say that your Platypus does look pretty; I don't know, perhaps different colors look better on different types of bike?

I always considered my yellow w/black accents Motobecane Grand Record to be a rather ugly bike, tho' it was a beater so that didn't matter.

The yellow, silver, white, grey, and black somehow go well together; that crankset with guard, big ring, small ring, somehow looks very appealing. I have to confess that the -- sorry, a bit color blind, but they do stand up and shout -- bright purple? Pink? - pedals upset my equilibrium, but perhaps that's intentional. I put bright orange bar tape on my Brit Rac Green Matthews, and used bright yellow 3M tape to finish off the black tape on the earlier MAP bar on my black Monocog -- which currently has a temp tape job of black scraps spliced together with white 3M tape.

It looks nicer than Leah's purple one. (Ugh.)

Patrick Moore-Or-Less, you will forever bait me! Your color blindness has warped my sparkling raspberry into purple?! Sigh.

I tease. Your purple lavender orange red Platypus is indeed pretty.

[J S]

Great color. It may be my favorite, enjoy. 

[Roberta]

I love it. Like riding on sunshine. 

Like Leah, you and bike are color coordinated. And, you have the BEST reason for being absent from social media.

Welcome, RivSister!  Your Platy is beautiful.  Best wishes for many happy miles together!

Do you live on the West Coast?  I'm in the NW, on Whidbey Island.  If close, we could ride our Platys together!

[Sarah Carlson]

Thank you! This yellow makes me ridiculously happy!

[Sarah Carlson]

I love that! And Blue Heron is my other favorite bike shop, they built up the bike that got me to love riding again.

I would love to do a RivSister ride. If I ever go that way I'll let you know!
