Re: [RBW] Re: Wanted: 52cm Clem H frame or Bombadil
YES! very happy to hear the good news. That's not an easy bike to replace. As I was riding around the Marin Headlands yesterday on my 52 Grilver Clem H I came to the realization that it has slowly, zippily, but surely crept into the "this might be my favorite bike I've ever ridden, let alone owned" category. And with this ecstatic thought came the equally troubling realization that, living in San Francisco, I could be relieved of my Clem at any time by any thief worth their salt, seeing as how I have to (triple) lock my bike to a concrete post in a rented motorcycle space in the basement of the apartment building next door to mine . All part of life in a tiny studio with a partner who is not so fond of access-blocking vehicles in what little of a hallway that we have. SOcongrats! And happy riding. And cherish that unparalleled ride quality. Here's to hoping this will be the last "looking to replace a Clem" post for a while, and that maybe someday we'll wake up to a RBW e-mail with the heading CLEM H's ARE BACK AND UP FOR PRE-SALE AT 12:01PM NEXT WEDNESDAY!

Re: [RBW] Re: Wanted: 52cm Clem H frame or Bombadil
Definitely a medium (650B wheels.) That seems like an excellent price for a latest iteration complete Clem.

Re: [RBW] Re: Wanted: 52cm Clem H frame or Bombadil
Thought about that but I exceed the weight limit by a healthy margin, would like to use it for carrying more than 25 pounds and the dropped top tube is a turnoff for me.

Re: [RBW] Re: Wanted: 52cm Clem H frame or Bombadil
I have a Clem L 52cm and a Susie 56cm and I agree that the Susie would be more than capable of standing in for the Clem. It would also allow for a slightly wider tire. The reason I didn't suggest it was that the Susie is 2x the cost of a Clem. This is what makes the Clem so great, a lifetime frame and fork that can do most of the stuff most people will want to do on a bicycle for $900. Since Ryan does tend to experiment quite a bit, he may not want to go all in for a Susie. At $1,800 for a fillet-brazed frame and fork, an attractive deal in its own right. IMO, you can't go wrong with either of these Hillibike models. I consider them to be among the most useful bicycles on the planet.
