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)!" On Monday, December 20, 2021 at 10:56:52 PM UTC-5 Roberta wrote: > My Platy pics were posted by me on June

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 :) On Mon

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! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "

Really impressed by Mermaid's versatility with black, silver, or Leahtechnicolor builds! Each has a totally different personality. On Sunday, 19 December 2021 at 19:22:59 UTC-8 Michael Baquerizo wrote: > > was initially disappointed with the mermaid color when i received the bike > (nice col

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 lo
