Kim! It's so cool to see you again! 

I've had that '94 catalogue since 1994, it's hilarious to discover you were

Likewise Doug.
I think I am going to win the lottery pretty soon, so I will buy an extra
Riv for you. :)

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

[Doug Hansford]

Nice to meet you Kim! I'm sure Bridgestone was a cool place to work just as 
Rivendell for sure must be. Bike-centric and people friendly. I've never 
been to Rivendell headquarters but have spoken to Grant by phone a couple 
of times and he's genuine and really wants his customers to get the right 
bicycle and just ride. His book drew me to Rivendell in the first place and 
I've been a fan since, even though I don't currently own a fully built 
Rivendell bike. But, I've set my other bikes up according to the "Just 
Ride" philosophy and enjoy riding more than ever before. Leah's Clementine 
is a good example of making a bike uniquely your own even if it isn't a 
custom.

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

[Ray Varella]

You’re an outlaw Leah. 
I just have one question, 
How will you be able to form a gang with your rivsisters?
I guess you could be the Ironic Misanthropes. 


At some point, you are going to look at your bike and wonder how to add more 
color. 
Cables, pedal, grips and water bottle cages would be my suggestion. 
A friend powder coated my water bottle cages for my Riv tandem.

Leah,
I don’t buy it.  The Lone Wolf bearded cyclist would just keep sipping his 
beverage of choice and happily share his floatie with a bug.  Say what you 
wish; view yourself anyway you want, but you will forever be simply a 
#rivsister and #bicyclingbelle and we would not want it any other way.

Thanks for your many contribution to all things bike and Riv.

Well, I am not sure if Kim is Clem-loving but she is most definitely a 
#RivSister if I have anything to say about it. In fact, she is the most famous 
and beloved of the #RivSisters, I think. Kim, you’re so humble. You should tell 
them who you really are! I think there are photos from a rather beloved 
publication featuring Kim

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Clark,
They will be available.  Rivendell as part of their stellar customer service 
always gets extra frames and forks to compensate for issues or damage in 
shipping.  Once the full bikes get out to their new owners they will release 
the extras.  Sometimes quickly sometimes slowly sometimes never and they find 
their way into a hot corner or rafter at RBW.  
Vince is the memory King if you have a random question about number of a 
particular size, color, etc it is probably locked away in his brain simply 
waiting for a reasonable inquiry.
That said they are swamped and short handed currently getting bikes out as fast 
and they can to the individuals who have fully paid for a bike or frame already 
(Gus and Susies) doing their stellar job of preparing and checking them first.
Their IG account also says they are hiring another person so they are doing 
what they can.  

Sincerely,
Ryan Hankinson
West Michigan

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

[Leah Peterson]

I 100%, wholeheartedly agree, DP. Truly. The thing about a bike becoming dear 
is that it gets that way because you have a long-term relationship with it. I 
rode the Betty from 2012-2020. And for all but the last 8 months of its 
existence, it was my ONLY bike. It was like an extension of me and we covered a 
lot of time and territory together. The Betty saw me through the kid-hauling 
years and the school-age years and our many cross-country road trips home. It 
carried my dog in the front basket until that very dog died July 2019. That 
Betty never imagined it would be upstaged by a comfortable Clem, but it was, 
and I find myself starting over. 

I’ve got a LOT of miles on my Clementine now, but new parts means I’m still 
getting acquainted with it. We get along great, the two of us, and I don’t see 
myself changing anything else unless it’s to lighten some parts when the old 
ones wear out. I have come to find I really like “light” where I can get it on 
a steel frame, even though that is not a popular opinion here. But the goal is 
to feel about it as I did its predecessor, which is as if the bike was made for 
me. And I think I’m nearly there.

Doug - I ride an average of 10 miles per day. That’s way, way up from my bike 
commuting days. I used to ride with the boys to school and back, so only 4 
miles. But now I ride all the time, whenever I can. “Are you going out on your 
two-wheeler?” my husband will ask. “Heading out on the old dusty trail?” 藍 He’s 
accepted this is just part of our life now. Sometimes he tags along on his 
ebike and embarasses me with his portable speaker and unfortunate choice of 
music. When you’re that comfortable on a bike, you can just keep going. 

One funny story...I’ve shared on this List that I’ve evolved from Bicycle Belle 
to Lone Wolf Leah. We were riding our bikes on a cool Saturday morning when we 
encountered a group of about 20 roadies pulled over and chatting. All their 
heads followed us as we went by. You’ve seen what I’ve got going on...Oakley 
robot glasses like theirs, steel frame nothing like theirs, goofy polka dot 
helmet, basket in front, colors sparking from the wheels... My husband (who 
anyone can look at and know EXACTLY where he fits in the velotaxonomy) looked 
at me and said, “I don’t think they know what to make of you.”

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

[Doug Hansford]

Next Level Clementine is such a nice name for your bicycle. I think 
changing out parts, components, wheels and tires does make every bike 
unique. I did that on my BMX bike as a kid and still do that to my bikes. 
Racks, bags and bells..oh my! Leah you seem to be riding daily and upping 
your mileage? I like to ride at least a few miles a day and take some 
longish rides on the weekends. Happy trails.

Och! Leah, we have such very different definitions of "heat" and "reprieve

deepen, the joy of changes to a bike as the days and rides pass and you 
settle in with it being the bike rather than the new bike. Grin. Keep on 
enjoying all that cool weather, er, in the evenings with your light 
Clementine with a light!

With abandon,

One of the things I especially love about it is it's so NOT a thing I would 
have thought of for a Riv. Rivs have a certain look to my eye and that's just 
the way it's always been, you can't put orange and red and rainbow spoke 
nipples on them THAT'S CRAZY! But our Bicycle Belle (and Analog) did the deed 
and it's SPECTACULAR 

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

[Roberta]

Leah,

I will never tire of looking at this lovely bike.  

Remember when you put on the B68 saddle and were concerned that it would not 
look right with your bike of 50 shades of blue?  Well, I thought it always 
looked nice.  But now, having the reddish brown saddle and hub shiner mid-bike, 
with the reds and oranges at the "ends" really enhances the color scheme. I 
LOVE it.

I think Joe said something like this above, very colorful, but still classy.

And best of all, you love the ride even more than before. 

Roberta

Leah is riding an Electric Light Orchestra or maybe she is conducting the 
orchestra. Was trying to think of an ELO song that suits this silly post of 
mine. Evil Woman for sure isn't good. Maybe Mr. Blue Sky? Ha. Nice ride and 
this is definitely a Next Level Clementine.

Thanks for looking out for me! I’ve done some questionable things - riding

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

The sound in those videos is not the sound I thought you were talking about 
when you mentioned the rear hub.  I thought it was the buzzing sound that 
Joe mentioned when you coast.  That clicking noise almost sounds like a 
drive train issue since it coincides with the revolving of your crankset. 
 Do you have indexed shifting?  Could be it's a bit out of adjustment. 
 Does it occur no matter what gear you're in?  Then it might be a chain 
rubbing something someplace or else a bottom bracket issue or a loose crank 
arm.

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

My new White Industries rear hub (Rich/Hands On Wheels-built wheels) makes that 
"buzzing bees" sound, it's rad! Someone mentioned that it's a good substitute 
for a bell on the path, which I hadn't thought of. Pedestrians definitely hear 
you coming.

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

Leah,

Your bike is similarly setup to mine. Of course, I changed mine up as well
to make it my own; bar end shifters, no rear rack. Anywhoo, gorgeous Clem.
If any bike shop makes you or your Rivendell feel inferiors, they don't
know bikes.

Cheers!

That stuff is used in cars where you have a bunch of wires going to 
something like a taillight.  I've gotten it from dealerships.  Kinda kool, 
easy to use, tidy.

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

[Patrick Moore]

Leah: The bike and the colors and the story are all very appealing. I like
the use of cable housing clamps for light wiring guides.

Eric (or anyone): is there a technical name or product name for that wire
bundling caterpillar stuff?

Back to Leah: Are your wheels "twenty six inch" or 650B? (I can tell
they're not 700C.) I'm curious because my new Chauncey Matthews pseudo-Riv
will take 26" X 45mm tires with fenders and I've heard much good about
the Gravel Kings; it would be nice to have an alternative to the Nachez
Pass.

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

[JAS]

 Hooray for your Clem of Many Colors, Leah!  All of the fancy anodized 
parts look fantastic and congratulations to you for exchanging the 
handlebars.  I'm glad you love your new wheels and that the project turned 
out so well.  Your Clementine will be giving you years of enjoyment.  

After you've ridden it a bit, I hope you'll give us a review of the 
wheels/tires and what the lighter wheel set does for your riding pleasure.  
Inquiring minds and future Platypus owners want to know!

#RivSisters,
   Joyce

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Leah:

Nice install. If you want to clean up the appearance of the wires leaving 
headlight, you might want to try some of this wire bundling stuff:



It’s bendy and split down one side. Just cut to length and slip is on. The 
headlight in the photo, like yours, has two sets of wiring coming out of it. 
The plastic stuff hides the wires and keeps them protected from inadvertent 
damage.

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Leah,

Feel all is right bicycling wise in the SW now.  Somehow I feel more angst over 
your bike issues than my own.  

On a side note you could have afforded your own personal Anniversary 
Butterflied Mixte Custom with the ultimate Rivendell Name by now.

Happy night riding!  It is a special world out there alone.

Sincerely,
Ryan “Clem Clan member” Hankinson
West Michigan

Leah,
That ‘tricked out’ Clem is fantastic. The sum of the parts equals stylish 
delight. I think making a non-custom bike yours creates a custom bike! There 
are other Clems but that one is yours and there are none like it. Congrats on 
your persistence and for sharing the results. I like it!
