Heya Joe! I think you're pretty bang on that I'm having a hard time being
fully happy with the Clem due to fit. The thing is, the 45cm has a 575mm
ETT which is actually pretty reasonable for my height based on setup (not
full swept bars, but the ~45 degree bar I'm running on it), but otherwise
If a triple it is ok. There are no doubles that I can find to suite me
with a 165mm arm. I will get a triple and hardly ever use the large, like
on my Bleriot. I need 26 or 24 for hills, I am using a 6 speed FW and that
is the rub. If I had a 32 in the rear then maybe.

Long shot. I’d strongly prefer the orange.

Those are the type I’ve always used Benz.
Suntour Cyclone and Superbe.
I also have an early Deer Head Shimano that worked fine.

Don't those need suitable (and usually vintage) front
Cheers Joe. I was just pouring over the CHG! prototype geometry below,
which happens to be my size, and the numbers are just perfect on paper for
me - I was weary of 700c high volume tires because in my size, that
generally means huge toe overlap, but look at that 636.5mm front center!
That's
I'm using Riv's wide low double:

and 2 of Riv's MicroShift left shifters

and XT 9-sp

You should be able to estimate shipping on the Grand Bois web site before you
order.
That isn't how it works.
You place your order and wait.
Hi folks,
In the event anyone’s been looking for one of these. Mounted but never really
used. Riv gets $45, take mine for $30 + shipping. Always interested in cool
trades too!

Did you consider a 42T or 44T large ring with a 36T middle in a triple??
It should give 1 step gearing (depending on the FW cogs) so the large ring
gears are just 1 step above the middle ring gears. You could ride on
either ring and front shifting would be easy and just like a cog
Cheers Reid, that was the solution for Zed too, since the L's are longer
for their size, but in Zed's case he's actually almost exactly the same
height / PBH as me and had the same issue between 45 and 52. The L probably
has more compliance too with the reduced stiffness of the design, I'm
I don't recommend pumping more money into a frame you're not really into.
Gallup and Platypus are both going to be livelier bikes with plenty of
standover in sizes you'll fit, you can grab one of those and that Clem will
sell in a heartbeat to someone who will fit it well and find it amazingly
Thanks, Steve, for sharing your buying experience with GB; very helpful.

Joel,
Are you opposed to a TA pro 5 vis?
I run them on a couple bikes.
The small rings only go down to 26 but you can configure them as doubles or
triples.

Hey Jason, I had a similar problem on the higher end of the size spectrum: 65 H
was too big for comfort offroad, 59 too small. My solution (and on I think that
would work well for you, if you ever want a rough stuff bike) was the Clem L in
“my” size (64). All the standover, but enough front
These work well, but beware! They need to clamp very securely between the
stays; slightly too relaxed and they can fall off and end up in your
spokes.
That happened to mine; fortunately, no accident and even, no damage to
spokes, tho' the guard was twisted like a perverted pretzel. But I was able
I love riv simplicity. (...and the versatility and the whole ‘just ride‘
ethos, etc etc.
ha sry I get a little extra :)
