FS: Rivendell Platypus Frameset, 55cm, “Lime Olive”

[Nathan F]

I’ve decided to sell my 55cm Platypus from the original run in the “Lime Olive” color.

There are maybe 600 miles or so on the frame. I’m only selling it because I don’t have anywhere to store it after a recent move. Bummer! Here's how I built it if you're looking for some inspiration.

It’s in overall great shape, with some very minor cable run on the NDS headtube, and some minor marks from a bike rack on the DS seat-stay and mid-stay. No dents or anything major. As I exclusively ran it singlespeed, the chain stay and hanger are in perfect shape, though the inside of the dropouts are a little marked up from fiddling with the ENO hub.

BB/seatpost/headset are included, as are “The Platypus Care Guide” and the accompanying documentary DVD Riv gave away. I think I even have the original paint covers for the canti-studs, but will need to look around for them.

I am asking $1250 net to me shipped from Austin, TX (or free local delivery!).

I wish I needed another bike!

Still available when I checked a couple days ago. I wish I could make it work for me.

Bumping this down to $1150 shipped ($1100 for local pickup).

[Sarah Carlson]

Hi, is this frame still available?

[Nathan F]

This has been sitting in my closet for a year and is still available, lets say $1100 shipped ($1050 for local pickup).

I'm also extremely interested in green or orange Quickbeam, if someone fancies a trade!

Hi all, thank you for the overwhelming amount of interest in this frame! If I did not respond to you individually, my apologies--I received 20+ emails as well as some Instagram messages, which I was not expecting. 

The Platypus has been sold and is now on its way to its new owner!
