Thanks for the clarifications and precisions. I'm more auditory than visual
so I do appreciate the apercus of someone who is visual about the Clem's
appearance. Also, can the Clem take wider tires than the Platypus? At any
rate, if I ever get a Clem, it will be for dawdling about on pavement and

Thanks, Dave. I think I might fall between sizes, between the 52 and the 59
and, inclined to go small, the 52 alas is spec'd for 650B instead of my

I generally look up to Garth's advice, but I'll contradict him here: the
point is not level or sloping top tube but saddle to bar relationship. My
"ideal" level tt/fist of sp size is 60X56 c-c but the most perfectest fit
of all is on that too-much described '99 Riv custom that has a 57 c-c st,

Welcome back, congratulations on the Clem, and thanks for the binocular
suggestion. I lean toward the Carson since its price is more in line with
my very occasional and casual use, and because it's so compact.

I am still or was until last week or so still getting "closeout sale"
emails from Kucharik; maybe they've finally shut down, but there were open
until very recently.
Harth Huffman, on the Boblist, owns Wabi Woolens who make excellent
jerseys; better than Kucharik's IMO.

I've been puzzled by Nitto's and consequently Rivendell's -- yes, absurdly
low -- weight limits for racks that are sold as the top in design and
quality and price. I see that the Riv product copy instructs users to use
the strap right after stating the 2 kg weight limit for this $160 rack. The

Interesting; I just glommed on the V5, which I'd not seen before. It seems
to be a good design for bars where the moment of force is relatively high,
like many of the current Rivendell bars.
Curious: I can see how a Technomic would be wholly overwhelmed by a Bosco.
But what about a wide-faced, 4-b

But: 4-bolt and insufficient; that's instructive. This and other threads
about Rivendell widebars slipping in single-clamp stems, 4-bolt, 2-bolt, or
1-bolt, makes me think that Riv should devise its own "Y-clamp" stem.

low pressure tubeless tires; and I live where the goatheads flock and play.
