[RBW] Clem Smith Jr. on the Blug

The details are: 1) The complete bikes *and* frames are coming with decals pre-applied, and clear coated. They will say Clem Smith Jr or Clementine as appropriate. Some kind of mis-conception at the factory. They thought it some kind of gigantic mistake to not put decals on. You can still

[RBW] Racks for the Clem

Hello folks, I am contemplating some racks for my upcoming Clem, and I'd love to get recommendations for some economic, hard working front and rear racks. Up until now, my sights were set on the Pletscher rack from Riv. But after some looking around, this one from Velo Orange caught my eye:

Re: [RBW] The Impossible School Commute

That's a wonderful story, Leah! I enjoyed every word. We live very close to our local elementary school, and a great proportion of the neighborhood kids walk, but I don't see them biking. It's weird. Our kids are home-schooled, so they don't do the morning rush. Also, I really wish my

[RBW] Re: Clem Presale is over.

Personally, I am going to live with this bike, and ride it a good while before contemplating any upgrades. By that, I mean replacing replacing any of the original components with different items. Because I do plan to accessorize right away with a Pletscher rear rack, fenders, water bottle

[RBW] Re: A day in the life of a working class Amsterdam bicycle repair shop.

Great video, I really enjoyed watching. One thing that struck me was how much welding seemed to go on in that shop. What are people doing to their frames? And do they really take their bikes to a shop for a loose chain or a flat tire? It would seem like a luxury to have someone else do all

I had never heard of an alloy cassette body before. I was completely surprised to read that the Silver hubs have this. I didn't know that this was a thing that hub manufacturers would do. Considering the cogs are steel, and all the motive force propelling the bicycle forward is transmitted

[RBW] Clem Presale is over.

The Blug has announced that Riv has sold out their entire first run Clems and Clementines. They are sold out until 2016. It looks like the Clem/Clemintine experiment turned out fairly successfully for them. There must be a lot of new Clem and Clementine owners out there waiting anxiously

It's been a long time coming. After being in this group for I don't know how long, I have finally become a legitimate, fully fledged member by purchasing a lovely new Clem Smith, Jr. bicycle. I got the medium size, and I got it in green. Partly because that was the only color left when I
