Rich,
I wonder the same. I haven't been involved with Riv for as long as most of
you, but since 2012 I can't think of a more exciting bike. Hopelessly
biased, I know, but I'm sticking to it. There's magic in the Riv mixtes.

Hi Folks,
I ordered this 64 Clem-L, along with most of the bits for the build, but
then ended up going a different direction. So, rather than bothering Grant
and co. with a return I thought I would offer it to the group.

I ride around da 'Burgh on a 62 Atlantis or my 60 S. Hillborne however,

Hi,
I think F-C is an important parameter for Grant's designs. Here's a
thread:
https://groups.google.com/g/rbw-owners-bunch/c/dW25Rl2Qf3M/m/FL_RhSQwAwAJ
I think Joe's point about the type of handlebar to which he's designing the
frame around is important, and has permitted him to expand F-C

Hi,
Longer wheel bases make the bike ride smoother and (to a degree) more stable.
The really long rear chain-stays are good for carrying bags, because your heals
do hit them.
Long chain-stays are harder to ride off road, because they make it harder to
lift the front (wheelie) over stuff.
Riffing slightly off Garth's very Garthy statement, "no one knows why it
works" is kinda Grant's vibe and why he doesn't like to answer "How long is
the toptube?" I gave him my PBH (plus he's seen me) and told him what I
wanted my custom to be like and he said "Sounds good, I'll call you when
Because the spread out wheels is like riding a horse in stride. Yes, I
thought of a techie answer, but frankly that never says anything of
substance that anyone can instantly if ever relate to. It's like the

My very non-knowledgeable answer is the long front-center allows for high
stack-height and a slack fork angle with way-reach-back bars like Boscos
without cramping the rider. My custom was specifically designed for those
bars and to be ridden with them way up there to accommodate arthritis in

Hello All,
Since I've been *very* slowly getting into DIY framebuilding over the past
few years, and by way of it, trying to better understand why some
geometries work for me and my kind of riding over others, I have come to
appreciate the method of builders like Waltworks in terms of using
Hi all --
I am working on building my older father a bike. He has finally accepted he
cannot use drops anymore and that he cannot swing his leg over the top tube
of his bike. So, I introduced him to the idea of building a Clem L, and he
is excited and on board.
He uses a Clean Republic
Isn't that the truth, Joe! I find bottom brackets slightly tedious.
Headsets though often take several rides before I get them just right.

Roberta: bite-sized GAP rides sound like a good idea. My wife and I are
thinking of doing a one-night ride on the GAP this summer. I had assumed we
would just leave from town and try to make it to Ohiopyle, but maybe we
should consider driving out and starting somewhere

What Ray said, if the problem is a loose headset the fork and handlebars
should be acting as a solid unit and the movement is coming from the head
tube/headset.
Theoretically either REI or your pro shop should be able to fix this issue
easily. The problem is we don't know which one is going to

Thanks Paul, PATC is great. I just pay dues and rent a rustic cabin once or
twice a year.
My favorite things about these shop pics are little details like a toolbox
sticker, or Eric's license plates, and especially, seeing what list members

Thanks everyone for sharing pics and details and such. It has been great

Nice work on restoring that Snap-On box, Pete! Really cool.
Wow, sharp eye, Paul. Took me a minute to locate the PATC sticker :)
And get that vice up, Kieran! ;)

Phillip,
What a disappointment to discover the damage when you opened the box. Did
Rivendell ship your Clem? I've purchased a few frames from them and the
dropouts (and fork ends) were always well secured.
Good luck and please let us know how this is resolved.
