late to the party but in a fairly recent blug Dave mantioned that Atlanti,
Hunqs ,and HH's wait times were almost longer than customs. I suspect the
fact that True Temper is no longer manufacturing frame tubing is a
contributing factor and Riv/Waterford is sourcing frame tubing
elsewhere...offh
The more substantial changes in the Clems are the now-straight seat stays
and the smaller seat tube. The originals also had the "speed-blend
nipples." A little surprised it comes with 9-speed. I just could not get
the SunRace shifters to work for me, switched them out for stem shifters.

I got my Cheviot-green 52 CLEM L (complete) today; a couple of interesting
notes: It uses a 9-speed drivetrain instead of 8 from the first run, and the
SunRace upside-down-backwards friction shifters are the higher-level series
with a click or friction option on the left-supposed-to-be-right shi
I've been waiting for someone to mention this. I scanned the newsletter 3
times to find more information on the Clem based on the title and nothing
was detailed on it. I assumed that another communication would be
forthcoming to discuss the topic but nothing to date has been brought up
about
I'm more than a little tempted to scoop one up. Even with the wheelset, it
would be a relatively gentle introduction to the world of Riv. I've just
got to see how a few things work out.
Thanks again, y'all.

The Clem H is not being discontinued or anything like that since it seems to be
popular for them ! Only Riv knows why they do not state on the sale page that
new models and colors are coming in October, which is clearly stated in the
Blug. It seems different people may be updating each each or
Good decision. I am 5'10" with a saddle height of 73.5 or so, depending. My
52cm Clementine is a perfect fit. The 59 is a BIG bike. I know what you
mean about having a wheelset on hand, but I would not let that be the
driver here. Get one this moment !;^)

This is good general advice about any Rivbike these days. The domestic frames
tend to hold steady as available if you wait long enough, but that wait seems
to be getting longer. The Taiwan models are available on the spot once released
as 'for sale', but they all qualify as limited runs of one l
Regarding "not getting one yet, and keeping it on the radar": The subject line
of the recent newsletter said "last of the Clems," but then never elaborated in
the newsletter itself. If you think you want one, I'm thinking it might be
good to do so sooner than later, or at least ask riv what th
That's a good choice ! If it doesn't feel right, save your cash for another
day or bike or whatever. Neither size may really suit you in a Clem. 7 cm. is
just too much of a difference, even 4 is large. The one size fits many approach
so reminds me of mainstream big brand bike sales which has b
Well, thanks everybody. I think I'd sleep better at night with the 52 (I
can share it, I can shrink and still ride it, etc.). I don't think I'll get
one just this moment, but I'll keep it on my radar.

Hmm, I'm going from a 45 to 52 and still will have a little more than a fistful
of post showing. I'd be leary of a frame with the saddle slammed like your pic
shows. I would get confirmed seatpost-to-headtube numbers and make sure you get
a length that works with an Albatross. Keep in mind that
One other thing to consider, is there a possibility you will share this bike
with anyone or have guests who could use it?
Since step through frames offer a lot of flexibility in sizing you may add that
into your decision making process.
If people shorter than you might use the bike then it adds
I called, and so far two folks have agreed a 59 would work, but it probably
would have the seat pretty much all the way down. It's a bummer that I'd
have to spring for the wheels for the 52, but it's not such a big deal.
It's more important that it fits!
Anyway, how do you measure effective top
Also, I'd be running Albatross bars unless I opt for the complete (a
possibility for sure with the 52, as my parts are nothing too special, an
older Acera groupset).

Here's a picture of the 59 at what would be my saddle height. It does give me
pause being so low.

I do appreciate the advice. The top tube length is a bit tricky to compare. My
brother's 54 Surly LHT clocks in at 55.5, and I could do more but 64 might be

Garth, I have a silver Jones Loop (710) that I'm going to try. I have an 80mm
stem on hand with a 31.8 collar to take the Jones, and I think the fit will be
good.
