The response from Leah should be most helpful as she has ridden both. I
haven't ridden either but can tell from photos that the new Clementine is
long. In fact, when I emailed Will about sizing he said the 52 would
work for me unless I wanted a really big bike under me with the 59. I guess
Dave, the newest Clem L chart lists the 52 as having a 65.5 effective toptube,
which is somewhat deceiving because the head angle will shoot the bars way back
but still..pretty big. OTOH a DirtDrop is a really short stem intended for
dropbars, I would definitely start with swapping stems on the

Thanks, Zed. I'm guessing therefore, that the newer Clem L has a longer
effective toptube and less need for a long-extension stem. Our 2015 Clem L
(correctly sized at 52 cm) has a cockpit that feels pretty crowded--even
with Dimension HiRise bar and a Dirt Drop stem. I like to ride moderately

Hi, I have the latest geo Clem L (I call it a Clementine) from 2019. It’s in
the shop so I can’t take measurements for you, but I can tell you a few things
that you may find helpful.
1. Wheelbase on the 52 is just a hair shy of 50 inches. It’s LONG.
2. I needed a 50 mm stem to get the bars clo
Depends now on H or L, the published geos for the Hs are still the same, if I
remember right. The new Ls get longer effective top tubes, longer chainstays,
and a slightly shallower headtube angle to match, I believe.
If this works it should be a copy of the original 2015 geos for the Clems and
We have a 2015 Clem L. Can anyone tell me the differences in frame geometry
between ours and newer Clem Ls.
