Whelp, if I had a sedan and a Porsche and a date on Saturday I would take the 
Porsche. So this makes sense! 

Re: [RBW] Re: A Tale of Two Clems

[Leah Peterson]

Yes, I would agree with Andrew and Joe on the “Clem could be my only bike” 
sentiment. You all know I started out with a Betty Foy, which I still have, but 
the Clem’s step-through frame and the long chainstays make it the favorite. And 
what of the Betty Foy? 

This is embarrassing. It’s...my date bike. 

No, really, it is. My husband (not a bike person) only likes the Betty Foy 
“because that bike is you. That bike was an emotional purchase - you have 
history with that bike. How many miles have you ridden the Betty? It’s just 
FANCIER than the Clementine.” And he’s not wrong! So, regardless of how 
comfortable the Clem is, when we ride to Saturday coffee he takes his ugly 
e-bike and I take the Betty.

But really, a Clem is probably all I (we?) need.

[RBW] briar tires

[Philip Williamson]

I have 38mm nice-ish road tires on the Quickbeam. I have tubes with sealant. 
I’ve picked up a number of goatheads, and the sealant sealed the hole when I 
picked the thorns off. 
If I had further issues, I’d install some tire savers (thorn flickers) in 
addition to the Stans in the tubes. I think that would cover you.

Thanks for weighing in on the shoes Minh. I hope the price is fair, it's 
lower than I remember paying for them back in the day -- but the market for 
vintage bicycle shoes isn't exactly booming!

Re: [RBW] Re: A Tale of Two Clems

[Joe Bernard]

Extrapolating on this a bit: The Clem/Clementine project was originally 
envisioned as a "budget Riv" with flat black paint you could rattlecan after it 
got scratched on light poles and bike racks. The lower cost remained but the 
dang things are gorgeous, and I never ever once notice that I might be riding a 
cheaper Riv. It's a Riv, and Rivendell makes spectacular bicycles. ALL of them.

Re: [RBW] Re: A Tale of Two Clems

I hear ya, Andrew. I've been riding my e-wheeled Clem L a while and it's

way and it's going to be spectacular with all the lugs and pretty paint and 
built just for me and all that, but do I really NEED it? Nope. I want it and 
I'll love it, but a Clem would suit me just fine as my only bike if it ever 
came to that. They're not just good, there's a vibe about them that speaks to 
me. I can't explain it, it's just there.

Re: [RBW] Re: A Tale of Two Clems

[Andrew Huston]

Going to gush a bit. I have owned a few Rivs over the years and bought the web 
special grilver 52 a few weeks back. Other than still having a love affair with 
that mustard color, I very much enjoy the way this bike rides. I’ve held out by 
thinking the Clem will be boring, wouldn’t be good at anything, etc etc etc. 
Maybe it’s not GOOD at anything but whatever. It seems practical and 
comfortable which is what I need in a bike. Since I’ve got it my $3K bike has 
sat idle. The time I have for rides now favors short fun jaunts, unassuming, 
and easy. A few alterations will likely make this my one bike. Never thought a 
Clem would be that bike.

Re: [RBW] briar tires

[ctifusion]

I am currently riding Big Apples on my 60cm MIT Atlantis and I can fully 
recommend them. I have used lighter tires like Compass, which I love on 
other bikes, but the Big Apples seem like a natural fit to me. They're 
hefty, but seem to match the feel of the big Atlantis. I assume they are 
about as puncture resistant as you can get, and yet they have a distinct 
feel that I really like.

That is great news.  If it's a good seller, that is good for Riv (and us).  
I hope they bought enough to last them thru to the next reorder.

I looked for you, and was disappointed I didn't see you and get to meet

Your build looked really good, nice work! If you ever think of selling it,

Re: [RBW] Re: A Tale of Two Clems

[DHans]

I agree Joe. I bought and sold a Clem H and regret it. If a 52 L were in stock 
I would buy it now. Although I do prefer the first generation green. I’ve never 
owned a low step over bike but since I ride more for utility now than 
recreation and the L looks like it would be ideal.

[RBW] Re: Anyone used Gravelking 650b x 38 mm tubeless

[James / Analog Cycles]

Until recently I ran 700c tubeless GK smooth tires on my Sam.  The tires 
are great.  Best fast rolling gravel tire out there, IMO.  They're durable, 
ride great.  I ran mine at about 35 psi and could take it on mtn biking 
trails, bad roads, never got a flat.  Orange Seal Endurance sealant.  Quill 
Rims.

Re: [RBW] WTB: Sam 51cm in black

[Rob Klurfield]

RJ,
Both ways, please.
Your build looks great, but I might consider the frame/fork by itself
(assuming I don't stay permanently destitute from our tornado damage).

FYI: There's a Riv dealer who is selling a new 51cm Sam frame & fork in
black for $1050 because he's moving his shop. I think he also has a 47;
same price.
Thanks, RK

When I spoke with them before I managed to get a frame, they were getting more 
in March. That was two months ago though.
