I watched my time go from 1:59 cst to 2:00 refreshed my page was already
logged in put a 59 lime olive into my cart went to pay and, sold out.
Really talking like 30 seconds if that, crazy, guess it wasn’t meant to be.
Curious how much quicker you had to be and how?

For the record, I am holding out for a miracle. No parts are up for
grabs yet. It would be a Velocity wheel set, Silver crank, silver deore
9sp
RD, and a cassette for now.

I fell in love with my blue Clem all over again when I took it on
vacation and rode it all over the north. It’s just such a good bike.
So
comfortable and stretched out. I do love a Platypus, that’s for sure,
but
the Clem is just special in its own right. I hope the changes made
were
good ones (they will be) and that the people who most want these bikes
and
will ride them are the ones who will a Clem on the day of the sale.
The recent edition of Calling In Sick, Clem L edition really makes
a person extra glad to own a Clem.
