I can't speak to the big frame, but having a PBH that was right on the cusp of the 45/52 sizes and having now owned both, I can say that if you prefer upright, one-or-two hand position, casual riding you'll be happy with the larger size. If you prefer a more energetic ride (which apparently I do), you'll need to size down. The size up with everything set to the minimum is a big, luxurious, spacey ride. The size down with everything raised up feels more much zippier and more 'at hand' if that makes sense.
-Zed in Indy, who rode a 52cm for 2 years thinking he had an 80cm PBH but now rides a 45cm because maybe that PBH is actually 76, and really understands the indecision of being right at the edge of two sizes (A1 is a great shop, my second Clem frame was through them) On Friday, October 5, 2018 at 2:49:36 PM UTC-4, RDS wrote: > > I am thinking of getting a Clem L frame or complete bike. > > The latest catalog has a min PBH of 83 for the size 59.
