Thanks all. It's great to see your pic's, and also some love for the Clem H for a change :)
Lum, you asked about my Clem's hill performance. Hmm, it's fine up the hills I went on; never gave it a second thought ... but we're not talking hundreds of feet, either. I guess it depends on the hill length, right? I mean, one could argue that the Clem is heavier and thus could build more momentum going into a hill than, say, my obviously lighter Roadini. But at some point, depending on the length of the uphill, that momentum advantage will go to zero and then you're fighting gravity harder with a heavier bike. No surprise there, right? If I was going on a 'training' ride (I hasten to even use that word) with a bunch of hills, and trying to maintain the 15mph avg I shoot for when I'm on my Roadini or my old Sam, I'd not take my Clem. Why would I, unless I was trying to prove that I could, but that sounds kinda silly. Heck maybe I'll do it one day if I'm really bored. Until then, I have the luxury of picking a given bike for a given ride. There are plenty of days when I like to just knock around, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly. Sometimes I'm riding with my wife and we like to talk while riding. Do I worry about hills and speed on those days? Nope. Do I want a bike that feels heavy and is 'slow'? Nope. Do I like to ride a different bike just to ride a different bike occasionally? You bet. You should get a Clem H and give that Rodeo a rest every now and then :) Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
