2023-06-05 Thread DavidP
Tom, sorry to see you are passing on the Platy but I can relate to the 
struggle of preciousness with this frame. Despite intentionally building 
mine to be at home on dirt I eventually added fenders, which knocked it 
down a notch on the rough stuff scale but definitely help keep things 
cleaner (and look great on this bike). Still it does well on all surfaces 
except rough trails - a case of being more capable than it looks.

At any rate this is a great deal on a fantastic bike; best with the sale.
