I just bought a Clem from the garage sale section and plan to ride it as my all-around utility bike. Off road and on road. It will be my only bicycle for now but I'm always on the lookout for another one! Doug On Saturday, October 23, 2021 at 8:35:25 AM UTC-4 sof...@gmail.com wrote: > Doug,

Joe, Ray, and Jason, thank you so much for weighing in. I am going for it, since I'm not sure when I'll next have the opportunity (and if I'm finding that I'm neglecting one of the bikes, I'm sure I can find a good second home!). I think I'll keep my platypus reserved for joy rides on roads

Of course! If you'll ride both (yes) and one will be built up for a slightly different mission (probably) then I see no reason why not. In fact I'm currently down to one Riv and it's just not right! Joe Bernard On Thursday, October 21, 2021 at 12:48:45 PM UTC-7 sof...@gmail.com wrote: > My
