All sizes initially shared the same seatlug with the seatstay sockets at a fixed angle and the 45 to 59cm sizes all had curved stays to compensate for the fixed angle of the sockets. The 65cm is the only size Clem H to feature straight stays with that same seatlug. The subsequent Clems started getting the new ball and socket seatlug that allows various seatstay angles and eliminated the need for curved stays in smaller sizes.
I’ve greatly enjoyed my 65cm Clem H the past two years. I went from stock Bosco, to Chocomoose, and now riding Jones loop 2.5 risers with threadless adapter. I also started with front rack (surly) but for multiple reasons switched to a rear rack and traded away the surly front. I didn’t really have a problem with the handling of the front loaded Clem but I acknowledge steering was noticeably slower and more cumbersome and admittedly prefer my current set up (Jones bars, front Yepp child seat, Daija Expedition rear rack.)
