Well, that was quick! Got an email that there was one final Clem H 52cm available at 310pm and it was gone by 319pm. I was considering buying for a friend who is looking for that exact bike. Not only was it marked down from $900 to $800, but there was a $100 credit if purchased before 12/31.

Not to beat a dead horse, but Clems are $900 for the frame, $1650 for the very very reasonable stock Riv build, and it would be hard to get out of Walnut Creek without spending at least $2300 on a custom build ($900 frame/$1400 build including the $250 minimum labor fee.) So, a new
