I also own a medium Clementine. How did you make the determination that the chain stays are unnecessarily long? While I do realize that there is some point where long becomes too long, I would have no clue as to where to begin to make such a definitive assessment about the Clementine cs length. In fact, since the Clementine has a distinct ride feel that sets it apart from my other bicycles, and one of its distinct features is long chain stays, I give that feature at least some credit for its Clementine-ness. Would I notice if it were one centimeter longer, or shorter? Who knows. But I bought the bike in part because the designer said "trust me" Further reading at the link I provided above gives reasons that the designer has moved to extra long stays, and those reasons line up pretty well with my ride impressions.
