Hi, all!
My friend (and former owner of my Clem H!) Gautam is selling a 50cm Platypus: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/bik/d/azusa-rivendell-platypus-50-cm-like-new/7440088017.html

It's stunning...the pictures do NOT do it justice! It's no secret these are sold out and those who were fortunate to grab one love them! Please reach out to him via his CL ad, but if you won't hear back (you will!), let me know and I can nudge him.

While I'm posting, I'll make a shameless plug for J Bryant randonneur. It's 63cm, kitted out with all the right bits (Herse cranks, Edelux, Noodle bars, Berthoud bag and Dura Ace 9s, etc.). It's also ready for a new home: https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/bik/d/yorba-linda-63cm-custom-randonneur/7416115606.html

Thank you for your time!

Best,

Daniel

Pretty sure someone on the list is looking for a Platy. That is a nice build!

I’m new to this site. I am in the market for a Platy. I just need to double check my PBH , then I can pull the trigger.  Hopefully tomorrow! 
Thanks!

Welcome Kathie, 

Go get it! The numbers on that frame are hard to come by so far (no geometry chart), but a list member recently checked the effective toptube on the 55 Platy and came up with about 59.5-60cm. At 5'-6" 80-ish PBH I could ride that size with bars and post slammed, and I know I can ride the 50 because I rode the prototype at RBW. Which is to say I'm at the bottom of the size range for the 55 and will fit a 50 easy, so if you're my height or shorter the small Platy will work!

Before Kathie grabs this one, a pic is always fun to see. Once the ad is gone, it's gone.

Nice looking Rando bike too, but how does that pump placement work? Looks like it crosses behind the seat tube and rests on the BB shell somehow. Just curious.

Hi Daniel

I saw the JB on LA craigslist, thinking, that bike has to be Daniel's.  Now, the truth is out.  Fabulous looking bike. Luckily it is too big for me, and my former Roadeo is coming back to the west coast.
