Re: [RBW] Re: ISO: Riv 50/52 Step Through (Platypus, Clem L, Cheviot)

The Tosco’s are amazing. I got very lucky as my Clem came with the 65 wide 
Tosco which has a 31.8 clamp size. It also came with a FacePlater stem. The 
combination is really nice. Out of the box this combination has been perfect. 
The bike is so comfortable & the handlebar is a huge part of that comfort.

Then color me even more excited to try the Toscos. I've been using the 
Loscos too and have been searching for something a little different.

How's the Clem so far? Crust shipped mine today so I imagine I'll get to 
build it up in about a week. What build did you settle on? I believe you 
mentioned you set it up to do some MTB-ish work?

Thanks so much for the heads up on the Crust stock as well, Johnny. I ended 
up getting the last 52 cm Lime Green and I'm very excited though I am only 
now realizing that perhaps, I should've checked out the quirkiness in 
sizing a bit more. I have a PBH of ~76-77 so I seem to be ok on a 52cm but 
of course, I'm feeling a tinge of regret at not considering the 45cm.

Johnny, are you sized similarly to me? And to the rest of the community,

@Dee Dee, Rivendell only sells these as completes now. It will likely be 
awhile before these are available through them again. It looks like they 
still have both colors in the larger sizes but only one lime green in 45 
and 52.

Jacob, I bet that was my thread. Yes, I was completely shocked. I got a 52 
from 2019 after having ridden my mother-in-law’s 1st gen Clementine and 
they were DIFFERENT BIKES. I have the 52 and had to get a longer bar for 
the vehicle bike rack and change the stem because the reach was too long. I 
was frustrated getting it set up because the darn thing was so foreign 
compared to the bike I knew. BUT I will say that now I adore the Clem. It’s 
very long but it is my most comfortable bike. Just takes a while to get it 
set up correctly.

Does anyone know the timeline for Riv to get Clems in again? And do they

 The 55 Cheviot is 650b wheel size, but the 55 Platy is 700c.
 I have a 55 Cheviot and I am 81cm pbh, but I would have been better off
 on the 50cm Platy had I decided to switch bikes.
 Will mentioned the size difference somewhere

Crust listed some complete Clems and I was able to grab one. Since I have 
some parts I wants to use I am going to be listing up some parts from this 
soon. If anyone is interested in a silver crankset or the new 650B wheelset 
on this thing before I list them feel free to hit them up. I am probably 
going to sell the derailers too because I have an Altus rear that I am 
eager to try.

I got a hot tip from Leah on a Platy in Cambridge however it is being sold 
as a complete and the price is fair but since I have so many parts its a 
pain to pay the higher price and try and offload a bunch of parts to 
compensate. If anyone is interested shoot me a message and I will give you 
the info. Or if someone wants to buy a bike load of nice Riv pats/wheels 
etc let me know and maybe we can partner up.  Otherwise I am still on the 
hunt. :)
