Congratulations, Emily! I'm so happy for you and am looking forward to hearing about your impressions of the bike once you get it out on a ride. I was visiting my brother who lives near Portland, so I went to Golden Pliers on Sunday. What a great shop! Kevin and Becky are such nice folks.

How exciting! Emily, I cannot wait to hear about your first rides. Did they have at ETA for it to be in your hands? I'm on the east coast and not close to Analog Cycles who is building my bike, so I'll have to live vicariously thru the new Platy owners in the west until I can make the trip

Another trick to add: Put your shifters in position so if ye olde bike thief hops on they'll immediately have the chain crunching and jumping to lower gears, essentially rendering the getaway over. On Friday, April 16, 2021 at 2:12:45 PM UTC-7 Kainalu V. -Brooklyn NY wrote: > Another voice

Another voice of dissent here, I use velcro straps that weigh nothing to engage my brake levers when I'm within eyeshot of my bike. Any would be thief will be confused by the locked up brakes long enough for me to run to my bicycle's defense. -Kai On Thursday, April 15, 2021 at 2:37:02 PM
