HI Leah, I really want to know how your new Platy rides. I'm in line for a lovely green one and have never ridden a mixte. I have an old road bike and an old trail bike. I ride anywhere from an hour to a week of riding 40 miles a day. I'm hoping the Platy will cover all my bases and I can unload my old bikes which I do not love. Can you confirm that there are braze-ons for 2 water bottles? You sure do look happy with your bike. Cheers Kate On Thursday, January 28, 2021 at 9:34:51 AM UTC-5 Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote:
