Platypus HQ - Functional Bikes and Trips

Cool

Hit me up for BikeCad if you want

So beautiful

Prolly preaches all the right things about this. DO IT!

PERF

I'd try and build it myself, but amateur framebuilding is a little too on trend for me

build a miniature out of wood!

For you to ride?

;-)

inshallah!

^ prolly bike geo, seems to be for 29er / 150mm fork

sweet aero wheels

I am not a fan of those curved seat tubes with an "effective" seat angle.

Needs must for Tuktitude

Were you going for massive tyres on this? I forget

On the curved seat tube front, can you copy/adjust your BikeCAD with 90º seat tube and megaslack head angle but also tuck the BB under the wheel for more wheelie power? Similar to this?

29x2.6 plus mud front (under the manitou) and rear

Just about wide enough to make @TvH suspicious

Autumn update.
Back to two bikes, both working nicely.
Had a bike fit on the Cotic, didn’t change much.
MTB when the leaves are down and it’s not too boggy is perfection.
I’m working on a website to document some of the more interesting trips I’ve been on (including the Highland Trail 550 last month), watch this space.

Excellent fizz taste.

Tory lemonade 😉

I am still in love with my Koga, and been riding it a lot recently. Never been on anything quite like it, just rolls beautifully. Even fun on notchy edge of town singletrack.

Somewhere between Molesey and Staines, a surprising amount of fun green space to ride through there
