Joe:
I talked to Riv earlier this week about purchasing an Atlantis and posed a few
questions about F/F prep. I'm not here to make a blanket statement about how
all F/F are handled before they depart Riv, but I was told they receive the
Atlantis F/F with headset already installed and that a F/F I purchase would not
have the hanger checked/aligned before sent to me. My "guess" is they may not
even unpack the F/F when they receive it. There wouldn't be any reason for them
to open it up, if nothing is to be done on F/F. Maybe they are so busy it's
easier to just place a new shipping label on the box and out it goes. I live in
rural Montana and am a little bummed I have to travel a good distance just to
ensure hanger is properly aligned after spending $1750 on a new baby. And I
would doubt the threads are chased.
Nothing whatsoever against Riv, just an observation. Seems it should be part of
the frame making process to quickly verify proper hanger position somewhere
between frame build completion and paint. I'm going to travel and pay to have
it done, anyways.

Are these frames being sold as unprepped? I'm not clear on where they are with
that now but it would certainly slow down my "buy" finger if I knew I still had
to install the fork, adjust the headset, chase the threads and check the
derailer hanger adjustment.

I imagine quite a few have sold but Riv not being able to offer many complete
builds may be reducing sales. Hopefully they can get caught up on the backlog
of builds in the queue. And, the Rosco version of the Platypus was just
released recently so that fulfilled some people's wish for a mixte type road
bike.Doug

It would seem that demand is mirroring that of the housing market. Decidedly
cooler than 12 months ago when Platys and house listing were sold out in mere
hours.

There is still one Rosco Plat in 60cm of each color available, so maybe supply
and demand are balancing out. At least for the taller folks.

I can never tamp down my excitement over the Riv mixtes and have given up
trying. I’m SO excited that there is a paddle of Platypuses on the water,
heading to Rivendell as I type this. I remember the excitement of the 2020
Platypuses (which were delivered in 2021); they were gone in minutes.
Heartbreak and jubilee ensued and then came the waiting.
But the wait is nearly over because the presale is the 19th. I’m keen to know
if these will sell out as quickly or if demand and availability will have
evened out by now.
Who is purchasing a Platypus?
