Re: [RBW] Re: Platypus/Clem sizing

Basically the trick to purchasing any Clem - especially used - is to get the effective toptube number and start from there. I know Grant hates this advice but you gotta have some kinda guideline if you're not able to ride it first. On Tuesday, April 26, 2022 at 12:45:23 PM UTC-7 Doug H.

Re: [RBW] Re: Platypus/Clem sizing

When I spoke to Grant about the Clem a few years ago he suggested the 59 would work well for me but I decided on a 52 in large part for the wheel size. But, that conversation may have been based on the first gen geometry which has changed. Doug On Tuesday, April 26, 2022 at 3:23:04 PM UTC-4

Re: [RBW] Re: Platypus/Clem sizing

Interesting observation. I love the fit of my 52 Clem but wonder if I “should” be on a 59? A little more than a fistful of seatpost showing and with a 130mm (I know!) FacePater & 650 wide Tosco. The stem is as high as it can go. So a 59 could work I guess but with a much shorter stem? According

Hi Keith, I have the 52 Clem and the 55 Platy. They are completely different bikes and the sizing is confusing because the 52 Clem feels bigger than the 55 Platypus. I am 5’6”, with an 81 cm PBH. Technically, I would be sized for the top end of the 50 Platy, but I like to size up if I can. I
