 I've got some exciting adventures on the horizon that would be best 
 suited to having a slightly different bike in my stable, so I've decided 
 to 
 part ways (amicably) with my first-gen (2016) 59cm Clem Smith Jr, in the 
 no-longer-available "H-type." This has been a great bike that I've really 
 enjoyed riding, but I don't do it enough and I'm excited to pass it on to 
 someone who will enjoy it.  


 Not to toot my own horn, but I was riding hillibikes before they were 
 cool, or at least before Grant had thought up the term. When I bought this 
 in 2016, I was mountain biking a lot and built this up from the start as a 
 rim brake mountain bike, using things like wide, tubeless compatible rims, 
 strong V-brakes, and trigger shifters. When VO brought out their 31.8mm 
 quill stem in 2017 it got 710mm Jones Loop bars, which really tied the 
 whole thing together, and that has been the basic setup with relatively 
 minor modifications since then. 

 Overall it's in good shape, never been crashed (that I can remember), 
 and I've proactively replaced consumable parts before they've worn out. 
 There's a couple of places where the green paint has chipped exposing the 
 white primer below. Pictures are here . 
 The build: 

 Frame/fork: 59cm Clem H, Green. Geometry here 
 
 Headset: FSA Duron
 Wheels: Prototype Rivendell "Silver" hubs, laced to Velocity 
 Cliffhangers (700c/29") with 36 double butted spokes each. Currently 
 running ~1 year old Specialized Fast Trak 2.2" tires with tubes. Rims are 
 tubeless compatible, but the rim tape is the original from when I built it 
 up in 2016 so it could probably use a refresh if you are going to try to 
 run them tubeless. 
 Handlebars: Jones 710mm Loop H-Bar, butted aluminum, Jones Kraton grips 
 Stem: Velo-Orange Removable Faceplate Quill Stem, 90mm
 Seatpost: Thomson Elite (zero setback)
 Saddle: Will come with a WTB Pure (pictured with WTB Deva), or will 
 sell sans saddle
 Brake Levers: Shimano Deore "touring" (BL-T611)
 Brakes: Shimano XT v-brakes
 Shifter: Shimano Sora 9spd Rapidfire w/ two-way release
 Rear Derailleur: Shimano XT 9spd "Shadow" (RD-M772)
 (No front shifter or derailleur)
 Cranks: CODA-Branded Sugino 94/58mm BCD, 175mm, square taper w/ 36-22 
 Dimension 9spd alloy chainrings
 Bottom Bracket: sealed cartridge unit, 107mm, I think it's a Tange?
 Pedals: Shimano Saint platform pedals
 Cassette: Shimano XT 9spd, 11-34
 Chain: SRAM PC 991

 Sale does not include the King Iris bottle cages pictured. 

 Craigslist price is $1,600, happy to sell to a list member for $1,400. 
 I'm in Sacramento, CA and would prefer a local sale, but if you're 
 elsewhere and are willing to pay for boxing and shipping, let me know.

[RBW] FS: 59cm Clem H "Hillibike" with Jones, Thomson, Shimano XT, etc.

[Jeremy Till]

I've got some exciting adventures on the horizon that would be best suited 
to having a slightly different bike in my stable, so I've decided to part 
ways (amicably) with my first-gen (2016) 59cm Clem Smith Jr, in the 
no-longer-available "H-type." This has been a great bike that I've really 
enjoyed riding, but I don't do it enough and I'm excited to pass it on to 
someone who will enjoy it.  

Not to toot my own horn, but I was riding hillibikes before they were cool, 
or at least before Grant had thought up the term. When I bought this in 
2016, I was mountain biking a lot and built this up from the start as a rim 
brake mountain bike, using things like wide, tubeless compatible rims, 
strong V-brakes, and trigger shifters. When VO brought out their 31.8mm 
quill stem in 2017 it got 710mm Jones Loop bars, which really tied the 
whole thing together, and that has been the basic setup with relatively 
minor modifications since then. 

Overall it's in good shape, never been crashed (that I can remember), and 
I've proactively replaced consumable parts before they've worn out. There's 
a couple of places where the green paint has chipped exposing the white 
primer below. Pictures are here . The build: 

Frame/fork: 59cm Clem H, Green. Geometry here 

Headset: FSA Duron
Wheels: Prototype Rivendell "Silver" hubs, laced to Velocity Cliffhangers 
(700c/29") with 36 double butted spokes each. Currently running ~1 year old 
Specialized Fast Trak 2.2" tires with tubes. Rims are tubeless compatible, 
but the rim tape is the original from when I built it up in 2016 so it 
could probably use a refresh if you are going to try to run them tubeless. 
Handlebars: Jones 710mm Loop H-Bar, butted aluminum, Jones Kraton grips 
Stem: Velo-Orange Removable Faceplate Quill Stem, 90mm
Seatpost: Thomson Elite (zero setback)
Saddle: Will come with a WTB Pure (pictured with WTB Deva), or will sell 
sans saddle
Brake Levers: Shimano Deore "touring" (BL-T611)
Brakes: Shimano XT v-brakes
Shifter: Shimano Sora 9spd Rapidfire w/ two-way release
Rear Derailleur: Shimano XT 9spd "Shadow" (RD-M772)
(No front shifter or derailleur)
Cranks: CODA-Branded Sugino 94/58mm BCD, 175mm, square taper w/ 36-22 
Dimension 9spd alloy chainrings
Bottom Bracket: sealed cartridge unit, 107mm, I think it's a Tange?
Pedals: Shimano Saint platform pedals
Cassette: Shimano XT 9spd, 11-34
Chain: SRAM PC 991

Sale does not include the King Iris bottle cages pictured. 

Craigslist price is $1,600, happy to sell to a list member for $1,400. I'm 
in Sacramento, CA and would prefer a local sale, but if you're elsewhere 
and are willing to pay for boxing and shipping, let me know.

[RBW] Is the Clem a Hillibike?

[Lee Kimball]

Wow, that trail looks super fun to ride. Any idea where it is? Also, what kind 
of handlebars are those—looks like a bullmoose but I'm kind of a noob still 
when it comes to knowing bike things (or any things, really).

[RBW] Is the Clem a Hillibike?

[Max S]

Welcome to the forum! 

I do have a lot of opinions on any topic; most of the time I’m wise enough to 
keep them to myself, but ahma take a flyer on this one: 

1. There was a poster (“Jay in Tel Aviv”) awhile back who owned a Riv, so 
perhaps you can search through the archives and connect with them. And hang out 
- a mini Riv party?.. 

2. My recollection from spending time around those parts last year is that 
off-road cyclers in Israel seem to be fully into full suspension rigs, and road 
cyclers tend to be squarely behind plastic fantastic with aero wheels, city 
riders all seem to be mini-velos or electric (in which case it’s also mini), 
and the market for used bikes is quite bad compared to US. All this is driven 
by historical cultural and geographic factors... 

3. My impression is that the terrain for many off-road adventures involves 
rather bumpy roads, and full-suspension is popular there for good reasons. That 
said, the main driver is a cultural interest and affinity for high tech and 
innovation and “results”. 

4-a. But a fit and skilled rider on the right kind of tires can be quite fast 
on a Clem type of bike. 

4-b. You can try a sprung Brooks, a ThudBuster type of seatpost, and a Girvin 
or Softride type of sprung & damped stem for additional cushion. 

5. http://5metresofdevelopment.blogspot.com/ - worthwhile reading! Matt Chester 
single-speed fully rigid “monster cross” bikes are highly sought and rare, and 
this whole approach to rough-stuff riding is quite interesting... But it does 
come from a slightly different set of “survival” constraints — it isn’t from a 
standpoint of covering the longest distance in the shortest time with the least 
effort from an external perspective; rather, it’s in a push to simplify, reduce 
cost, maximize realizability, and get to one’s own “center”, as it were, in the 
most direct route; keeping up with others is a diametrically opposed paradigm 
to that.

[RBW] Is the Clem a Hillibike?

[Surlyprof]

GK,

We all used To ride rigid on singletrack with 2” tires (or skinnier) back in 
the late ‘80’s.  Front suspension hardtails came along which help a bit with 
control on the really rocky stuff.  Check out what Yakeen pulls off on an 
Atlantis.  It’s inspiring (and a great video).

You should feel confident that you and it will be fine. You'll likely be the 
fastest for fear of not being, but don't let that or anything else get in the 
way of being the funhavingiest (with rhythm).

Re: [RBW] Is the Clem a Hillibike?

[Eric Daume]

As a mountain biker and former Clem owner, the Clem wouldn’t be my first
choice to hang with my fast riding buddies on their full sus bikes.  It
doesn’t have the confidence inspiring feeling of my Jones LWB. For a
mellower group or solo ride, it would be ok. The Clem is going to attract
some attention as such an oddball bike, though.

[RBW] Is the Clem a Hillibike?

[Joe Bernard]

Oops, my terminology is confused there. Your bike is a rigid, hardtail is a 
front suspension bike. Keeping up WILL be an issue if they're running 
suspension forks.

[RBW] Is the Clem a Hillibike?

[Joe Bernard]

Welcome! Clem H is indeed a stout Hillibike, it was designed as a 
you-can-buy-one-new replacement for all the late-'80s-to-mid-'90s steel 
hardtails that used to be cheap on the secondhand market but are now kinda 
pricey to get back to new condition because they're all 25-35 years old now. 

So yes it will hold up to that type of riding. Will you keep up with your 
buddies? That's hard to say without a clearer picture of what they're riding, 
but you won't break your bike. Have fun!

[RBW] Is the Clem a Hillibike?

[theenchantingwizardofrhythm]

Hi there - first time poster 
and coming at you from Tel Aviv, possibly(?) the only Riv owner this side 
of Mesopotamia...

I got myself a 59 Clem H which I love oh so dearly
My friends, equipped with hard-tail mountain-bikey-bikes, are going out for 
a couple day off-rode ride that includes some singletrack.
They say I probably can't hang with the Clem.

So what do you think?
Should I go out confident that the silver steed will hold its own?
or am I setting myself up for a world of pain and a bruised bike? 

Many thanks,
gk
