Anyone thinking of parting with their 64/65 Clem L? My dad is having a hip replacement and needs a bike for rehab afterwards per his doctor. He's tall like me, so I can't think of any other bike on the market that would work for him better than a Clem L. He looked at some of my bikes but commented that the top tubes were too high for him to swing a leg over. He's 6'5" and shinking somewhat, PBH unknown.
Would be happy to buy a new one, I'm sure, but understandably Riv only did 1 batch of big Ls, and I think something like 10 big Rosco Bubbes in an L style. I looked at the Cheviot presale, but I'm not sure a 60cm Cheviot is going to be big enough for him, and I hate to recommend something that's suboptimal if he's going to be dropping $2.5K into it. He's not a cycling nut like me or even my sister (who's kind of a runner first, cyclist 2nd), so talking him into $1400 frame only might be too big of a stretch anyway. >From past threads I realize that most of the big guys who got big Clem Ls on this list were really happy with them, but I guess it never hurts to ask. Alternately, is there anyone in the Austin, Texas area with a 60cm Cheviot that we could compare against my dad's comfort level? Hope everyone's having a great day. -Jim -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ signature goes here -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
