The Platypus no doubt lands very squarely between the Clem and Malocchio, especially if you set it up with slick-ish tires and accessorize it appropriately for being an all-rounder. Charlie would also be great for the comfortable, chilled out riding position but my reason for thinking the Platy is the better bet is that with the kids, the Platy can wear a lot more hats - carrying heavier loads, or set up with the kid hauler. Plus, the tire clearance will facilitate a wider range of routes.
There is no wrong answer here though, basically the whole lineup between the Clem and Roadini will fit the bill, so whatever sparks the most joy I am sure you'll be fully happy with. Arguably if you plan to run racks and carry stuff like groceries or beach kit, the Platy makes more sense on paper, but I'm sure the Charlie would handle it just fine too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
