Go to the dealers, Liz. They will have one. On Sep 27, 2024, at 3:20 PM, Liz Tilton <metil...@gmail.com> wrote:
I didn’t get it. In the time it took American Express to confirm that I really DID want to make this purchase, they sold out. Agggh.
I’ll find one somewhere at some point, though. In the meantime I have two Rivendell beauties to ride and can look forward to the Platypus when it comes.
Congratulations to all those winners who are thrilled right now!

My fingers are poised to click “buy” on one of the 50” Platypuses. If I don’t act quickly enough, I guess I’ll start combing the continent for another way to find one. :)
I’m 5’3”, 66-year-old woman who’s completely grateful for how fit commuting by bikes (in Cincinnati, OH) has kept me.
Currently, I own my first Rivendell—a 20ish-year old Atlantis on which I’ve ridden SO MANY miles, and a newer 52” Clem L.
My hope is to eventually sell the Atlantis…but, seriously, that’s gonna be a hard one to let go. Time to make the changes, though.

I want a yellow one so badly but it’s just not in the budget right now. If there’d been bare frames for sale I would have bought one. I want a dynamo on this bike and have many of the other parts on hand so it would have been more cost effective for me. I am hopeful that when finances are available we will find a 55 yellow out there on the resale market. I want to add, we had a 55 Cheviot and really disliked it, so I wasn’t sold on the Platypus but I went to Riv and rode a 55 Platypus and it’s a whole other ride. There’s definitely one in our future. Liz in Sacramento Normally I am anti-complete. I think they are usually spec'd fine enough but I like too many nicer parts to not want to swap half of it anyway. But these have such nice components that there's not much that even I would want to swap. Usually the biggest disappointment for me is wheels and the new wheels they have are built on my favorite of all affordable hubs and look to be fantastic. If they had thrown the Altus big pulley RD on there I would declare it totally perfect as-is. But for me only one component I am not fond of on a complete is a gigantic win.
Anyway I didn't contribute anything because I am not in the market for one but I gave my two cents anyway. People are going to love these and its two of the best colors.

I love the Rivendell presale days. It’s fun to watch the bikes virtually fly off the shelves, and especially on Platypus presale days, since that bike is my uncontested favorite. Today will be extra thrilling, since this presale is happening in the wake of the New Yorker article hype. (Hoping this has brought lots of new customers to Rivendell.) I’ve personally had one woman track me down on Instagram and ask me about the Platypus after she read the article. Turns out, she’s also a nurse and only lives 45 minutes away from me! She may be one of the new Platypus owners today.
If you are getting ready to make one of Rivendell’s famous Platypuses your own, comment here and tell us the details! Leah
