WTB: Rosco Platypus 50cm Purple

[Dan Vee]

Hey.  

Curious if anyone here might have one they are looking to sell?  Could be a frameset or possibly a complete.    

Thanks

Maybe you should call and ask Rivendell. They said at the end of the year that they had some back stock of all sizes and colors of the Rosco Platy. Its not listed on the site though.

Crust has all sizes right now. You don’t even have to pay twice for shipping.

Regarding end of year stock:  They were restocked on the site at end of year with a limited amount and have all sold.

Regarding Crust:  I think they just have the Platy in stock, not the Rosco Platy.

Also of anybody wants the 55 Mermaid Rosco Platy prototype it may still be there. I thought Riv was going to post it for sale but I've never seen it..call em up!

What’s the diff between the Platy and Rosco Platy ?

This link is the long version. Shorter: It's TIG-welded instead of lugged, doesn't have the midstays in the rear triangle. To my eye it's a more utilitarian-looking Platypus. That's a compliment cuz I also think it looks like a non-lugged version of my custom. 

[Joe Bernard]

Ack! Forgot the Rosco link.

About $400. (+ what Joe said)

I ended up buying a regular/swoopy Platy but it was the Rosco (and its price) that first got me thinking about the possibilities of a Riv step-through.

I guess the odds are that Rivendell is completely sold out but I have always learned to call and ask. I have gotten all kinds of sold out stuff from them because they "didn't know they had it" or "forgot to list it"

[dane...@gmail.com]

You guys weren't wrong! Will sent me a photo of a complete demo they are selling. 

-Dan

[Johnny Alien]

Congrats!! Its amazing how many time Rivendell has come through with "sold out" stuff. Share photos here too

[Joe Bernard]

Nice! Is it the 55 I mentioned or did you find a 50?

For other Rosco Platypus seekers, this looks like a great deal for a 60cm purple:

Oops...sorry looks like it's gone

[Johnny Alien]

I believe its gone because Dan bought it.

[dane...@gmail.com]

Hey!

Actually, I didn't buy it as I'm really just lookin for a frame set not a complete bike.  Someone on the list does have one they are willing to sell and I'm thinking it over right now.  Thanks for the help guys.
