I'll be test riding a clem this weekend and I'll let you know my thoughts. Given the thick diameter tubes and overall stoutness/geometry of the bike, I doubt anyone would consider the Clem a "light" anything. How you loas it and what feels good is up to you, and perhaps the Clem will feel livelier unloaded than a trucker, but most "light" tourers that I've come across typically have less wheel clearance, thinner tubing, more roadish geometry. If anything I think the Clem could handle what your throw at it but it fall into the category of Bombproof Country bike for dirt roads and S240s as opposed to credit card touring and randonneuring. For all I know country bike is just what you're lookin' for. And don't listed to me just yet, I'm already forming an opinion about the bike without having rode it, standby for an informed test ride report
