Re: [RBW] Re: If you want to see someone's Clem L this is the thread

I think it came out wonderfully. And I agree with you that the Clems can be plenty fast with good wheels and tires. Glad to see color going on Rivendells, and especially on the Clems. You can have artistic license with a Clem; they aren’t snobby; they are the heros of the Rivendell line and th

I have used Carradice bags for years along with many of the older Riv offerings. I think the Bags by Bird Goldback and Fabio’s Chest bags took those bags and improved them quite a bit. If I had to choose one it would be the Fabio’s Chest. Lots of mounting options, long flap, useful collar for se
