As with all things, plans and reality don’t always coincide but in this case my wife is very pleased with her new ride. Most of the parts were assembled on an old Royce Union mixte test mule that served for the time it’s taken to receive the Rosco Platy. 

The saddle is her favorite… and still to come, Al fender.

Very nice build! There's a lot of nice little details in there like the noodle cable routing and clean bell mounting. I bet this is an absolute dream ride for your wife. I can't wait to see more of builds of these frames.
