Leah, on your Betty, the one that fits you best, measure the distance
with a tape measure(metric preferred but regular will do) in between the
saddle tip and either side of the bars right next to where the stem is. I
really mean "in between" , as in place the tape measure's body right up
against the saddle tip and extend it to the inside of the bars next to the
stem. This gives you a firm number, there's no wiggle room for guesses
here, no centers to guesstimate . Now do the same with your new Clem-L.
Compare the distances and post it here. This will help with a stem
adjustment, if necessary.
The Clems have a 1/2 degree seat tube angle than the Betty, which means the
exact same saddle and seatpost mounted exactly the same fore/aft, the Clems
will be a little further back. I forget the mathmagics involved offhand,
but it will be around 4-5mm give or take guesstimation.
