My husband's (okay, really, OUR) 50 cm purple Platy complete arrived yesterday by UPS!
We loaded it up asap to get it to our local bike shop before it closed (not being as savvy mechanically as most of you all...but equally excited for sure:)... I'd already ordered the pedals, kickstand, tape, twine, etc. Xmas came early here in California! Cheers to all...
