Oh, that Clem is WAY longer. Platy is 47.25 inch WB, Clem is 52!!!! I had to get a really short-reach stem to make the Clem fit me right. (I think there’s a thread called Stem Chronicles or something like that...)The Clem doesn’t turn like the Platy does, but it is luxurious and wonderful. I love my Clem; I wouldn’t be without it, but the Platy is my favorite.
