Now it looks like a Real Clem, reporting for duty. I was so glad you posted photos so I could show my sister what her bike will look like. Has anyone else gotten a Clem in the mail? Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 27, 2019, at 7:33 PM, J Imler wrote: > > Racked and bagged. Looking forward to

I think my Clem H feels super light, too. I don’t know a thing about frame geometry but I assume there’s a special balance it has. I “graduated” my wife from a rescued Jamis Commuter to her own Clem H and she feels the same way about it feeling light. > On Aug 23, 2019, at 8:27 PM, Joe

Adam: Leah (Belle Ding Ding) and I were just discussing this. She noticed that "spring" in her Clementine, and I related that I could detect a bit of flex in the Clem L I had. I don't pretend to know how all this works, but that bike feels like it absorbs energy and spits it back out into a

i concur that the clem L feels light for what it is. i think because it lacks a top tube it gives up a bit more flex which makes pedaling easier. On Sunday, June 9, 2019 at 7:39:45 PM UTC-7, J Imler wrote: > > I'm in the que for a Clem L that's to arrive in August. I went for the > Chameleon

There is something about the clem feeling lighter than it is. The only time i notice that it's heavy is when have to pick it up to go up the steps into work. When riding it feels like a lighter bike than it is, and it rides equally well loaded or unloaded. -- You received this message

My boyfriend is replacing his Disc Trucker with a Clem L 52cm. On test rides, he said the Clem climbed better and accelerated faster, while still being able to carry a lot. That's been his main complaint with the Trucker-it's great for carrying a lot, but is tortoise-like. Since we mostly ride

Does she want to swap out her bike? If so, is she using her LHT for shopping? Carrying anything? I am using a Clementine for my sons’ school commute. The bike is magical and even though it’s heavy, I have no trouble climbing hills with it. Whatever stupid weight I saddle it with, the bike

The Indiana dealer may have a Clem L available for you. I just inherited my mother in law’s Clementine (first gen Clem L) and it’s absolutely my favorite bike. It’s a dream, really. I think you should give Chris a call and after that, see if 718 or Analog Cycles has a bike left from the pre

That sounds like a great build. I'm thinking about getting a fun bit for some trail riding myself, and could definitely see the merits of a build like this. Definitely was a bit bummed to see the last of them sell out before I could stop waffling on whether or not I should get one. On Friday,

I have the 52cm green one on order for my son who got a bike stolen from outside his apartment last year and no longer owns a bike. I already have three Rivs - a 46 Appaloosa, a 47cm Roadini and a 55cm Cheviot, but this is the first Riv a family member is receiving. -- You received this
