I'm considering one fo the remaining Rosco Platys and want to hear ho the
Platypus frame works for tall folks. I'm 6'3" with a 94cm PBH. Right now I
have no Rivendell bike but I remember my former Atlantis fondly. I'm tired
of maxing out the capacity of smaller frames with ridiculously tall stem
Hi Wes,
I'm 6'4" and 95 PBH. I'm perfectly comfortable on my Platypus but I'm at
the top end of the range and would go with a 62cm Atlantis in the future.
I'd take a look at Will's setup on the site, that will give you an idea of
what to expect.

I wouldn't do it Wesley. It's not the seat tube height, it's the reach and
possibly the stack height. For having such a long front-center, the actual
reach isn't that long with a shallow head tube angle. I asked about these
from Riv and the 60cm has the following measurments:
HTA 69.6
STA 72

Tough call. I really wish Rivendell would offer two more sizes in their
mixte frames - something smaller than the 50 and larger than the 60. Their
mixtes are such a hit that I think it could be justified. Maybe that
geometry changes the whole bike or something, I don’t know, I’m not a frame
des
The largest step through frames/builds are always the last to sell out.
