FS- Mermaid Platypus, 60cm

[Tom Palmer]

Almost new save a couple of small paint chips. Fit me at 84.5 PBH but that is the bottom of the range per Rivendell. Albatross bars, Technomic stem, nice PDW lock on grips with 10 speed bar end shifter in friction mode and shifts very well with new chain and Deore derailler. Nice Thompson seatpost, shiny VO crankset 46/30 with no front derailler- I stick shifted the 1 time I needed the 30- ran in 46 most of the time. Schwalbe G-ones 700x50cm. Wheels are unbranded fairly wide silver hubs and rims and have a freewheel- 8 speed is on now, but up to 10 speed available online. Brakes are shiny Tektro V brakes and avid levers. Seat and pedals are just place holders for your preferred ones. The bike rides very well on pavement and dirt. I ride dirt almost always now and even with fenders, this pretty girl was getting too dirty for me. I never though I would have bike that is too precious, but I do. $2100 plus actual shipping with insurance. I will box and ship, but work and home is very busy- it may take several days to get it ready to ship. I have shipped many bikes over the years and have access to excellent packing materials so she will get to the new owner in good stead.

Let  me know if you would be interested in selling just the F/F/HS/BB/seat post.

Tom, sorry to see you are passing on the Platy but I can relate to the struggle of preciousness with this frame. Despite intentionally building mine to be at home on dirt I eventually added fenders, which knocked it down a notch on the rough stuff scale but definitely help keep things cleaner (and look great on this bike). Still it does well on all surfaces except rough trails - a case of being more capable than it looks.

At any rate this is a great deal on a fantastic bike; best with the sale.
