Interesting. Why did they change the curved seat stays and diameter of the seat tube? Sent from my iPad > On May 26, 2018, at 6:45 PM, 'Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch > wrote: > > First gen had curved seat stays, bigger diameter seat tube, L model had

Re: [RBW] Re: Generations of Clems

Sorry, Kai. I was typing my previous response as you were sending yours. So, did the seat lug change in the newer Clems so the stays could be straight on the smaller models? Sent from my iPad > On May 26, 2018, at 9:06 PM, Kainalu V. wrote: > > The first and only

Re: [RBW] Re: Generations of Clems

Thanks, everyone, I knew you would know. I will get to see my BIL’s bike in July, and I’m going to look for all the details you’ve described. I will also see my MIL’S Clementine that month, so it ought to be noticeable. And yes, Ana, I so agree! Wonder if we could ever beg hard enough to

Re: [RBW] Alone in a Sea of Autos

None other than the Nitto Big Front. If memory serves, it’s rated to hold 30 pounds. I love it because I have no nervous hand-wringing about weight on that rack. And it’s so lovely-looking. When I bought the bike I didn’t understand about Nitto and quality racks. I looked at Tubus and quickly

Compliments are certainly not outside the expectations for this forum; we give and get them in one way or another all the time on the list. I like your style, great idea, awesome cap, cute dog, stylin' outfit, whatever. In fact, there’s a whole (predominantly women’s) movement out there that

Re: [RBW] Reduced: Black 52cm Clementine F/F/HS $700 plus bikeflights Now $640

This is too wonderful. And I LOVE the black and cream. It’s like a tuxedo or a Little Black Dress bike. So much class. Promise us you’ll line up your fleet of sweet Clementines when you get the chance and send copious amounts of photos. Also, bikes are the new cars. I volunteer with our church

He is, indeed, a dog. Who frequently gets called a “she.” And occasionally a cat. 藍 Sent from my iPad > On Oct 21, 2018, at 9:02 PM, in Dallas nick wrote: > > > Or is that a dog, I couldn't quite tell from the back? > > Either way cool for him or her to also enjoy the family fun. > > Paul

Re: [RBW] Ride Report: Little Silver Clem

I love that you ride with your grandsons. It’s a great way to spend time together and to stoke their love for cycling - toss in something fun like a library trip or an ice cream cone and you’ll have little biking pals for life. But you already do this, I’m sure of it. ❤️ Sent from my iPad >

Re: [RBW] A Boy, A Bike, and A Benefactor

Mr. Tom, What a fantastic letter - I can’t wait to read this to Ethan. Your points about using the bike without worry of beausage are spot on and we will adopt that mindset! The Clem truly is “A Tough Bike To Love.” Congrats on your 2nd Clem, and may there be a Clem L in your wife’s near

Re: [RBW] OT: Kids' bikes. Islabikes is closing.

Oh Patrick, therein lies the crux. The cool factor for the teen boy. He has been pretty darn accommodating to all his mother’s whims and staunch beliefs. He eats homemade lunch every single day with weird things like fermented pickles and homemade sourdough, and organic everything. He’ll take

Hi Everyone, it was so fun to read your responses today. I loved your poems and stories and thoughts (some private, some posted) and savored them along with a mug of strong, hot coffee. It felt like a group celebration among kindred spirits; my joy was made complete. Anyone would be moved by
