I think you get the "standard" Clem Smith Jr. or Clementine decals, appropriate to the model, already installed... OR... a you get set of generic letters that you can use to name the bike whatever you want. Not both. I think it is intended to be a theft-deterrent (or, more accurately, recovery aid) device - the idea being that yours would be the only bike of it's kind, and easy to identify. (When they first talked about it, I misunderstood that they were encouraging buyers to make them ugly, so that they'd be less likely to be stolen in the first place.) I'm curious now though, after reading this, if the "headbadge" will just be a sticker or an actual metal badge.

It is ESPECIALLY easy to rationalize your purchases when you can explain to them, first hand through their own examples, what makes a good bike - one that really fits well and is a joy to ride - such a "bargain." Buying my wife a Rivendell, even though she wasn't asking for it, was one of the best things I've ever done. She now rides 10 times more than she used to, she not only likes to go riding with me but actually initiates it, and she has willingly gone on a week long tour with me.... and wants to do more. Best of all, with the Clem/Clementine, is that you can do this relatively inexpensively!!! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
