Colin, thanks - yes, very helpful indeed.
If I take your 39cm saddle-nose-to-bar-ends straight-line distance, and:

Hey Tom,

Hey Collin!
Could you tell me your saddle height, stem reach, and distance from saddle
nose to handlebar ends?
Thanks,

This deal was SUPER tempting!! But I have a very similar bike (46cm
Appa). Somehow I managed to not order the Clem. Instead bought a four
figure gift card that I'll use when I start my MIT AHH project this summer.

There's really no difference between H and L besides standover. All things
being equal I'd have to say the L makes more sense, but that depends on how you
feel about the step-thru look. I prefer the H.

Joe,
How would you compare the Clem H and the Clem L? I'm waiting for the Gus to
come out and for the Clem L's to be restocked and will choose one of those
for my next bike.
Thanks,
Doug

I rode Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!'s husband 's 52 Clem H two weeks ago. My
pbh is 83. It fit fine with thick soled sneakers, but not too much extra
room for lower pbh people. Rode nicely.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking80.5cm standover sounds a little high, but
that is what Rich measured at RBW while I as on he phone. I know the Kenda

the wide Alex DM24 rims. I was looking back at what I measured
Amen to that, Chris.
I'm saving for a Gus and don't have the scratch to get a Clem even though I
could totally use it as a knock about trail bike. 5 months ago I would have
pounced on the deal. As it is now I have three bikes up for sale and the

Chad, the standover sounds right, if a little pessimistic. That standover
number is measured at the middle of the sloping toptube, it'll seem roomier
directly in front of the saddle.
Unless you're really committed to using it as a singletrack machine that needs
gobs of clearance, I say buy it
FWIW, I called RBW today and had them measure the standover height on the 52
with the stock tires. It is about 80.5cm Does this sound about right Joe? It
will fit me, but of course my standover will be very limited. They (Rich)
thought that I'd be pretty happy on a 52. Also it sounds like they
I'm curious as to how they made out on the weekend sales blitz. If anyone
wanted a Clem, that appeal surely should have shook them out of the
woodwork. As much as I'd love to help Riv, I just don't need a Clem which
would be my 8th bike made by the company. I do wish them nothing but the
Kind of a bummer for me. The Clem H is probably the bike I'd most likely
want to buy from Riv now, but I'm awash in bike projects and low on bike
funds! The timing of these kind of deals never seems to work out.

It does seem they're going to the well quite a bit. I don't know what it's
going to take to get the business on more solid footing but continuing to
make these sort of appeals seems like it's probably going to have
diminishing returns each time it's tried.

It bums me out that Riv is in this position (again) with the Clem H. To
Grant's point, it definitely should be selling given the mainstream market.
Meanwhile, the Clem L is perpetually out of stock despite seemingly healthy
demand (on this list, at least) and good press.
I love my Rivs and I
It applies if you put the order in online by end of today (Sunday March 17,
2019). It's part of the promotion, not a standard shipping deal.
One caveat is I don't know how you determine if you're still one of the first
10 to order today, there's no one there to call and ask.

Does anyone know if the free shipping applies to the Clem H deal as well?

Chad, I can't vouch for off road, but the 45 and 52 Clems felt the same on the
street to me. One has more standover and one has a longer cockpit, pick your
poison!

Thank you again for sharing the pics Joe. I’ve gotten used to showing a little
less seat post, but it’s nice to see that you can raise the Bullmoose bars to
seat level on the 45. Do you notice a significant difference in ride or
off-road capability between the two? I’m sure I’d probably be

If anyone has any questions, I have a 59 and love it for paved / packed

Speaking of which, I think it's a mistake to market the Gus with a new term.
"Hillybike" sounds like it's not intended to be a serious singletrack bicycle;
like it's ok if you're just plonking along, but if you really want to get after
it you need a "real" mountain bike.

I think they will keep the Clem L. The Sam and AHH will be the Roadini type
bike with the Roadeo remaining an option.

In the Blagh, Grant says they will not do the Clem again, and the Roadini
also seems to going away, at least for a while. I wonder if new models will
replace the Clem and Roadini in the lineup, and if so, what those models
will be like.

Don't miss the mustard 45cm Clems on the Garage Sale page. They're knocked down
to $1400, you'll have to ask if the $750 credit applies to those, too. I almost
bought one a couple weeks ago to mtb-ize, but then I snagged that Atlantis at
Analog (and spent a gigantic amount of money!) instead.
