You know, I thought about this too, and the thing with the Clem is you can't really buy up in the line from it, in a way. The Joe and Hunq are both similar in their ways, but not really the same. The Joe is lighter and has a much lighter fork especially. And even if the Hunq gets longer stays, it won't have the longer top tube that makes adjusting the reach on the Boscos so nice or the really open out of the saddle space the Clem has. On paper anyway, I haven't got to ride either in person and that is always capable of making the on-paper irrelevant :P I was talking with my buddy about it a long ride on Memorial Day, about how now that I had things dialed in I was having a real hard time understanding what a Hunq or an Atlantis (both rides I considered before the Clem preorder went up) would offer me other than lugs, and maybe now if anything what I'd want down the road is just a custom with Clemmy geo but fully lugged and with the full paint job, but then I'd probably get shy about using it like a daily workhorse like that and then that'd make me sad. But, like I said, it does have me considering a Sam to replace the lighter 'stached build it replaced. But, I think I've got a couple more years of riding this one to pay myself back in sweat before I'm ready to finance that one. Which is good, I should be good and ready to appreciate a lighter ride buy then. Maybe with the Clem doing so well it'll even be the first bike I build where I stop at fenders and maybe a Mark's rack, and don't overbuild in the name of 'but what if 30 miles out I need to...' Michael, it was your comparison of the Clem and Joe and the Boscos there that made me go 'I had that exact opinion too just a very short time ago' and reminded me I keep not getting these thoughts down. I almost replied on your thread but didn't want to hijack it. So, glad it makes you want to try them, but really, thanks for being the seed that got me to write this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
