Congratulations on being car-free. It certainly increases the justification for more bikes and bike-related purchases, among other things. My Clementine is my commuter, shopper, and Burley Piccolo tractor, so the L makes sense for me, too. Really, the only disadvantage to not having the Clem H is in the bunch sprints...
The black is very Y. Gomez/Model T masculine. While I'm good with the swoopy step-through, I'm not completely sure I have the bollocks to do swoopy step-through in Turquoise. Although my vintage mixte is powder blue with white grips, so who knows.
