I own Rivendell Road serial # R73M. It is match built. You will find a lot of information about that short-lived venture in Rivendell Reader Issue 15. I bought it on Ebay in 2006. I believe it was delivered to the original owner in 2001. David On Sunday, June 13, 2021 at 9:21:38 PM UTC-5

[RBW] Wide fenders for Clem

Has anyone fendered a 2019 Clem with the 584 - 60 (actual 55) Schwalbe G1 Speed tires that RBW carries? The obvious choice would be the B65 fenders they recommend, but they have been out of stock at RBW since I started checking in July. They are available elsewhere, but I would like to hear

I don't claim to "know", but I suspect it has to do with the Clem now being considered part of the Hillibike stable. My crude measurements on a new 52 compared to the numbers in the geometry chart on the frame page are: Effective top tube has increased 3 cm. (61 to 64), front center by 7 cm.

You did not mention the size of your Clem L and as Joe mentioned the tube size may vary by bike size. My August, 2019 Clem L 52 also requires a 31.8. I was interested to note that the seat tube is tapered, 31.8 at the bottom, approximately 28.6 at the top. David On Monday, November 4, 2019
