Welcome, Matt! Beautiful Clem. If it's half as sweet as the bass line in 
"It's All the Way Live," then I think it's twice as nice as most other 
bikes.

 Hello! Long time Rivendell-liker, first time Riv-enjoyer. Thanks for 
 letting me participate in the RBW group!
 After a very short test ride on a mate's Clem L 59cm I knew I had to 
 have one. Thanks to his Ebay saved search I am now an owner. This is my 
 first ever Rivendell and I'm beginning to understand why they have such a 
 dedicated following.
 I have a second hand Clem L in size 59cm, with what seems to be a 
 conservatively upgraded build (Velocity Atlas wheelset, barcons). After a 
 short shakedown ride I was quickly giving the Clem "magic bike" status. 
 I'm 
 impressed and surprised at how responsive the front end feels, something I 
 wasn't expecting out of the wheel size and overall length. The bike eats 
 rough road and rolls like that fat ass boulder from Indiana Jones. It 
 feels 
 like riding around in an old Buick and you're listening to the intro to 
 *Lakeside 
 - It's All the Way Live * 
 over 
 and over.
 I'm excited to ride this bike and to make it my own with bags, 
 upgrades, and whatnot. I'll continue to update in this thread as time 
 passes. Thanks for looking! pule
 - Matt

Yea for you! These are special bikes, IMO. So far haven't even swung a leg 
over my Hillborne this year. Just enjoying the ride of my Clem. The bar end 
shifters are a change I hadn't even thought about. 

When you get around to changing tires, try the Soma Cazadero that Rivendell 
sells. Seems to me it would be perfect for those trails. They do smooth out 
an already smooth ride.

Congrats!
Best colour for a Clem IMHO. No need for upgrades with that perfect setup, 
only side-grades. Side-grades are half the fun though!
