Roberta, 
What a lovely bicycle for sure! I'm glad I went with the mermaid over the 
orange for my Gus.  Besides I'd get questioned with "You have an orange 
bike already (the Quickbeam)!"

My Platy pics were posted by me on June 15 in this Long 
thread. 
https://groups.google.com/g/rbw-owners-bunch/c/5Qe4GAOJReQ/m/VDaBTF_eBAAJ 
 

Most components on my bike two tone, mostly silver with bit of black. 
Wheels have more color when not dusty.   I think it’s a classy look on a 
Platy but you can go bolder on a Gus.   I let Candice at analog pick the 
scheme. She “gets” my style. I did opt for black wall tires for extra flat 
protection, if that’s a thing. Looking forward to seeing your new bike.

That is a classy build, Eric.  What is the combo of bar tape color and 
shellac you used to get that result?

2021-12-20 Thread Wally Estrella 
OOOH! I like this very much, Eric.  I had been leaning towards a mix of 
green parts.  So, similar too, but different than Leah's Platy II.  Due to 
availability though I've found I'm getting more silver and/or polished 
parts than I hoped.   At minimum I'll have green Paul Love Levers :)

Love the black bits on this build.  I saw the all-black component Platypus 
build from Crust on the other thread and really liked it.  I think I prefer 
it this way with some silver thrown in.  Thanks for posting this!

Wow!  I was on IG about five minutes after I posted this and saw the post 
from Analog.  What a gorgeous build, Leah!  I've been looking at golds, 
burnt orange, and brown, but hadn't thought about green with that color. I 
actually have lime green deity pedals on the orange Susie right now and 
lots of little green bling from my orange bikes.  I'll keep them on hand 
after seeing this!  Thank you for posting this and congratulations on a 
beautiful bike.
