I do not weigh bikes anymore but I do not think so? They feel very similar. It is bigger than the Clem with bigger/heavier wheels/tires and otherwise similar components so it might be heavier.

Just finished my first real ride on this Gus. 23 cold(ish) miles. It was fantastic. Very familiar as expected (compared to Clem) but different enough to give me confidence that this will be a great mountain bike. I do miss the step through. But that’s it. The front end is noticeably stiffer - and I am not real good at noticing these things. The ride is even more plush than the Clem. Slightly longer wheelbase & larger tires I suspect. It feels like the Clem but bigger - taller. The extra bottom bracket height (2”) is only noticeable cornering - with confidence there will be no pedal strikes.

Congratulations, Richard !  

Glad to hear that you learned a lot*. *Gus looks terrific. 

I, too, am with Richard in that "Can’t wait to see some more trail pictures 
and hear more about how you’d compare it with the Clem!" 

Are you going to buy some of those hinged water bottle clamps from Velo 
Orange for your Gus ?

[RBW] Gus is complete!

2023-03-10 Thread Richard Rose

Well, almost, Still need to trim / cap the cables along with some fine
tuning. But, my first ever build is rolling! Shifting the 2 x 7 drivetrain
is very smooth & accurate. Brakes are squeal free and solid if a bit soft
at the lever. Touch points feel spot on as they should, having been
duplicated from my Clem. This promises to be epic fun once the trails dry
out.
For those interested, this has been an interesting process. Frame was
acquired from C&L Cycles in Montreal in a very smooth transaction. Awesome
Cliffhanger build & tires came from a Group member here. My first dynamo. A
bunch of parts came from Riv, Will was a big help. Stem & spacers from Blue
lug - they are amazing! B17 was a gift. The silver Deore rear deraillieur &
Black Deore brakes came from e bay. Paul levers from Northwest Bike.
Simworks cables... In short, it takes a village!
It snowed overnight here in Toledo, Ohio. It was a good day to work on the
bike and take it for a spin up & down the cleared just in time road. This
was a lot of fun & I learned a lot. A few pis
