Re: [RBW] Re: Inspiring Clem Smith Jr L builds!!

[Ryan]

Normally, I prefer silver parts ...or maybe some black if I must... black 
does look good with orange...but those gold motolites look sweet  with that 
colour. Good-looking bike!

 Hi all, 

 I just bought my first Rivendell (Clem Smith Jr. L) and I am beyond 
 stoked to drive up and pick it up! I was originally looking for an 
 Atlantis 
 frame and fork...but kept looking at Grant's Clem Smith Jr L (maxed 
 out) in 
 the *Staff Bikes* section of the site...it really seemed to be 
 calling to me. And then, with the Riv site redesign (which I like much 
 better BTW), there is the picture representing "Trailish" bikes of 
 Grant's 
 Clem battling a pretty gnarly root section...just muddying up my 
 decision 
 making process...which isn't hard to do, BTW. 

  After discussing my "dilemma" over a few wonderfully lengthy, 
 phone calls with Hugh covering so much bike geekery, I decided to pull 
 the 
 trigger on buying one of the leftover 59 complete bikes that were left.
  
 Since I was originally looking for a frame and fork, I have a lot 
 of my own parts (both bought and pulled from the bin o' parts) for 
 this 
 bike and I will be replacing some of the parts on the complete. 

 If you guys don't mind playing along...I would love it if you 
 fellow Clem Smith Jr L owners could send over some pics of your 
 builds. 

 That would be awesome. 

 Thanks! :)

Re: [RBW] Re: Inspiring Clem Smith Jr L builds!!

[Doug H.]

I'm liking that frame color, lime-olive and the tan sidewalls looks great. 
Nice build. I bought my garage sale Clem L over two weeks ago and it hasn't 
shipped! I'm getting impatient.
Keep the photos coming Clem L owners.

Re: [RBW] Re: Inspiring Clem Smith Jr L builds!!

[scott minor]

Hugh, 

Thanks, the gold Motolites are a tricky color but I think they go well with 
the metallic chameleon green.  I had a 60cm Cheviot in that color about 5 
years ago and loved it then but always felt the bike was a tad small so was 
thrilled to find this 64cm Clem L in the same color from a fellow tall list 
member.  The bars came with the bike, they are the 'wrong angle' Bosco 
bullmoose which I like a lot w this Clem.

Re: [RBW] Re: Inspiring Clem Smith Jr L builds!!

Scott,

I dig the gold Motolites, understated but still an element of bling. Are
those the Losco bullmoose or Bosco bullmoose bars. Also I'm warming to that
color green, very handsome looking.
