WTB: 700c wheelset for Platypus

[Victor Meng]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this community and am grateful for the wealth of knowledge people share here.  I'm stoked to have found a beautiful lime olive 55cm Platypus frameset in like new condition from a local Riv enthusiast (thanks Jake!).  I have parts for the cockpit, and will stop by RBW shortly to talk through what I need for the rest of the build.  I thought I'd reach out to the group re wheels in the meantime.  Please let me know if you've got a set of compatible 700c wheels.  I recently picked up a Homer build from RBW, so I'm hoping to find good but cost-efficient parts for the Platy (I'd splurge for a dynamo hub tho).  Perhaps someone upgraded from their Platy complete and have a set of the St. Jump built Alex rims laying around?  Please let me know.  It'd be great if I can find someone local to the SF Bay Area, but am of course happy to pay for shipping.

Thanks for reading!

Best,

I have a number of things for sale on the attached list. among them are my 700 C wheels

Some of the lower-priced items I  mean combined as they are not worth the trouble of shipping and packing by themselves

. The wheels however are ready to go. 

I have picts if you are interested. 

 

 

 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Bernard F. Duhon

Hi Bernard,

Thank you for reaching out.  Unfortunately the Platypus needs 135mm rear hub spacing.

Thanks again,

Victor

Thanks for reaching out Bernard!  Your message reminded that I forgot to mention in my original post that the Platypus needs 135mm rear hub spacing.  Thanks!

Hi Victor,

I tried sending a response directly to you, but I’m not sure if it worked. If it didn’t, just let me know and we’ll figure it out.

Best,

James
