[RBW] Re: Going really large on Clems

I wish I could test ride some of these bikes! I am certainly taken by the aesthetics of the larger Clems, but my eyes may not be sensible guides for actual ride fit. Graham and fiddleharpa (sorry, I can only see your email handle here), your pbh's are greater than mine, which is at 85.5, and I

I use a steerstopper on my Soma Saga that's fitted with a Crust Clydesdale fork. That fork can be loaded up quite heavily, which is what I do with the giant basket I have on it. Even with the frame up on a double leg stand the fork will still swing if the ground is not level. So I lock the

I sold all but one of my Brooks and Selle Anatomica's (I have a B67 if anyone's looking) and have replaced them all with Ergon SF and one Rivendell Clem saddle. I always wear regular clothes when riding and the Ergon SF is less uncomfortable than all the leather saddles were for me. The Riv is
