I’m so happy to hear from you. Congrats on a wonderful new bike! I’ve been waiting and waiting to hear about the shipment of Rosco Plats and the next Platys that were slated to come this summer but there has been no word. Has anyone asked Rivendell about those shipments lately? The mixtes are just so good that I wish a Rivendell mixte for everyone. Anyway, thanks for the post and pic. L
