Bike Snob NYC gets a Platypus

[Roberta]

He's quite excited!

So, that makes three in his household within the past year--AHHilsen, Clem L (for his wife), and Platypus.

I did not see Eben becoming a full-on mixte-riding Riv guy. Cats and dogs, living together!

I called him out on it a couple of days ago. Snob, we all know what's coming!

[Peter Adler]

What, he'll start wearing Tevas with dark socks?

Roberta and I were guessing and we thought lime Platy. But we didn’t think he’d opt for the 60 - is he that tall? But, there IS some wiggle room here, the PBH begins at 82 for the 55cm and I’m only an 81. My bike fits like a glove.

Now, how fast can he put a bike together? I can hardly wait to see today’s blog post.

I can ride a 60 cm Betty Foy with a 83 pbh. My wife rides it now with the seat even lower. That is the beauty of an "oversized" Mixte style frame - lets you get the bars way up without a ridiculously tall stem.

I believe the Bike Snob to be 5’10” and he chose a 60mm frame, I see he has a a decent amount of seat post showing. I bet it rides nice

Someone must tell him to install fatter tires.

I'm sure "you must use fatter tires" is a Riv Rule he can do a post about.
