Picked up my Platypus today at Mack's Bike and Goods here in Evanston, IL. Rode my old bike there, and left it at the shop (maybe forever?). Put 30 miles on the tires, and almost 2 hours of smiles on my face. 

Team at Riv (James in this instance) were supportive in the shopping phase. 

All good. Now I've an old bike to sell.....

Welcome indeed.

You MUST be new here -- where are the pictures??

Also congratulations on New Bike Day. You added to your quiver, all good.

But where does this "bike to sell" idea come from..?
N+1

Still needs some racks and other changes, but here she is.

Thinking of having some 44 slicks on for when I’m on the road (opinions welcome). And possibly swapping the Shimano dyno hub and the light with the SON and Edelux I have on my other bike. 

Will likely never be done with accessorizing. Considering Pass and Stow rack instead of the Nitto. And unsure of direction with fenders. 

Relative to the N+1 crowd, heard. Small garage and a mental focus on minimizing the “stuff” I don’t use…I may sell the old bike. It may become something else. Will see….

Ted! A new Platypus! And you must be in the Chicago area if you went to Mack’s! I am planning an upcoming Lakeshore Trail ride (to be posted later tonight) for two weekends from now. I would love to meet you and admire each other’s Platys.

Lovely lime-olive!  Enjoy your ride. And, if you can ride with Leah in a few weeks you’ll find her happiness infectious.

Please update us how you like it after a few rides or a few hundred miles which won't be long.  I'm sure it rides like a dream.  What a beauty!

Lovely bike. Welcome to the Platy owners fold. 

Roberta - that is the Sergio green from the latest run, like mine. The lime-olive from the first run sold out in a hot minute.

Ted - I love those meaty Thunder Burts!  You've got yourself a gooding looking Platypus there.

Welcome to the 'Man on a Mixte' club.
