My own recollection is now somewhat fuzzy regarding all the different Clem batches but I can at least confirm Mustard Clem H's were available going back to 2016 as this was the first (only?) batch where the 65cm H was offered and I bought a 65cm complete on pre-order. I recall later receiving

Hi Eric, I *believe* they were both 2019 (both were bought that year, but it is possible that the H was an older model... it was the mustard color, not sure which year that was). But I'm also basing my reasoning on bikeinsights geo charts, which show differences for the same model year. Cheers,

Good luck with the sale Paul! Can’t wait to see the Rosco builds to come. Another cool looking bike! On Wednesday, August 10, 2022 at 1:19:24 PM UTC-7 Joe Bernard wrote: > Correctumundo, the shortest Clems in both styles have the bendy seatstays > on the smaller sizes, the H went through at

Correctumundo, the shortest Clems in both styles have the bendy seatstays on the smaller sizes, the H went through at least (I think only) two incarnations. The big difference now when looking at used H and L bikes is the newer Ls are markedly stretched in comparison to any H you will find.

I’m not at all sure, but I think the H had at least one run with the new longer geo in 2019. It has more cream accents than the older ones is the only other thing I have noticed. On Wednesday, August 10, 2022 at 9:48:41 AM UTC-7 Paul Choi wrote: > This might be premature but I have a FFHS 52

This might be premature but I have a FFHS 52 Clem H in Grilver that I will be selling once my Roscoe comes in. I bought the bike last year from the original owner. It has some damage to the drive side chainstay and outside of the bottom bracket. The touch up job was very low quality. I didn't

... but i I guess I still don't know that short Hs were ever produced again, after the Ls got longer. This chart may have just included the then-defunct H for reference or aspirational purposes. On Wednesday, August 10, 2022 at 9:21:18 AM UTC-6 iamkeith wrote: > Well, I stand corrected.

Oh cool, thanks for digging up that link to the geo chart. I like the note at the end, "Don't get hung up on the numbers though. Go ride your bike!" On Wednesday, August 10, 2022 at 8:21:18 AM UTC-7 iamkeith wrote: > Well, I stand corrected. Here's a geomety chart from the archive that >

Well, I stand corrected. Here's a geomety chart from the archive that DOES simultaneously show the shorter H and the longer L. https://web.archive.org/web/20200413014654/https://www.rivbike.com/pages/geometry On Wednesday, August 10, 2022 at 8:20:47 AM UTC-6 iamkeith wrote: > That's

That's interesting. I'd put my money on Eric being right and bike insights being wrong. The wayback machine internet archive should hold the answers. The Hs didn't last all that long before they decided to just do Ls. They may even have dropped the upper bar an H version BECAUSE they

Thank you for the messages Dustin and John! I love that mustard color and would have liked to find one in it. I did pick up the one but don’t know the exact year. It is supposed to be here Friday! Eric, when I looked on bike insights it showed the fork rake and head tube angle being the main

John, Were your bikes the same gen? The Clem got longer in later models, but I always thought the L and H had the same geo for the same model years. Eric On Thursday, August 4, 2022, John Johnson wrote: > Hi! > > I had a Clem H and my wife has the same size Clem L. I noticed right away >

I just finished my Susie build (first Riv) and I have never ridden a bike like it. It brings comfort and riding enjoyment to an all time high for me! I do however find it to be almost too nice! I was interested in waiting for a Clem L to come back in stock to use as my grocery getter/winter
