Here are a few shots of my Clem out in the snow. I'll take some better pictures later, but I wanted to document how the first build turned out.
This is a 59 cm, blue frame. As others have testified, the ride is plush and stable. I am a bit over 6'3" with short legs and a long torso, and the fit is comfy. One feature that really grabs my attention is the generous space at the widest point between the tire and seat tube. On this setup, it measures almost 13 cm. The distance really speaks to the long chain stays. By contrast, that same space on my road custom is only 3 cm (and when we discussed the design, Grant commented on the "stretched" chain stays). On my '71 Cinelli and '73 Paramount the corresponding gap is about 3.5 cm. The angle of the seat post and the tire profile must affect this measurement too, but it's one I never really noticed before. Anyway, here's a link to the pictures: http://1drv.ms/1luwlOH David Sprunger Fargo, ND -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
