Similar to others, I am in-between Clem sizes and therefore sold mine

There comes a moment when your precious new Rivendell is ready to start
taking on beausage. For some, it's on day one; for others, they need to
hold onto that 'new bike' feeling as long as possible.

I certainly don't think you can do wrong between the two, given your riding
