My comparison is more of a quick impression than any sort of extended experience with the two. I just had that same sensation spinning around parking lot/gravel, combining a set-back saddle position with swept-back bars set relatively high and far away. Is that the "in the bike" vs. "on the bike" feeling? Like a cruiser but with responsive handling? I don't know - I'm new to all this. I'm looking forward to playing with the Clem to see how it works. Certainly interested in other peoples' experiences!
