I picked up a used Clem H <https://bikingtoplay.blogspot.com/2017/09/a-summer-fling-with-clem.html> this summer and ended up selling it pretty quickly. I think the frameset would work out fine for me, but I didn't like many on the stock components:
- I'm not a Bosco fan, no "just right" position that I would use for 80% of my riding - Stock tires were terrible, the worst tires I've ever used. How can a 2" tire ride so harshly? - The saddle caused me physical pain after just a few minutes, much too wide - The stock shifters shifted pretty poorly, what with the micro clicks. All pretty small stuff that could have been easily fixed, but I wasn't in the mood and just sold the complete for about what I paid for it. So my advice is to think about a frame up build. Maybe I'll try this again in the future.
