I don’t know what area you are in but there is a 50 cm Roscoe Platypus frame on the Rivendell Facebook list. I’m not sure if this link will work but I will try.

If you can find one, the 50cm Cheviot, the precursor to the Platypus, is a little bit smaller than the 50cm Platy. It also has the lugged construction and cream headtube, but has long reach sidepulls instead of V-brakes.

Hi everyone, I'm interested in getting a 50cm Platypus and I have a PBH of 72cm. I noticed that the minimum PBH for a 50cm Platypus is 74cm.

Do any petite platy riders have recommendations for making a Platypus fit better?

On a 50cm platypus, would I have to ride with the seat all the way down?

I'd definitely appreciate any photos of shorties like me (approx 5') standing alongside their Platypus frames.

I'm aware that the Clem comes in an even smaller size but I'm more interested in the Platypus aesthetic and color choices.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to rivendell frames/bikes in my area to test ride and I'd be purchasing online. 

Thanks for your help!
