Davey, In all fairness, I did not ride the Clem-L more than perhaps around the block. The way it was set up, the Clem felt nearly like riding a Gazelle Dutch bike I once owned. In other words, very upright. My Rosco, though still quite upright, gives me just the slightest amount of forward lean in the setting. Also, as has been described about many Rivendell bikes, I feel like I'm riding in the bike; instead of on it. The Rosco has a definite plushness/springiness I enjoy, but is still quite responsive to my inputs. I'm intrigued by the Rosco Mountain Mixte builds and would like to hear more about riders impressions of them.
