Hi Miles - you're selling the Jones Diamond, yah? Any interest in trading for my Sam Hillborne? On Sun, May 8, 2016 at 5:15 PM, Miles wrote: > If I remember right Belopsky, are you in Michigan? I have recently plunged > on a Jones Diamond with unicorn fork. Oddly simple but has something I have

If I remember right Belopsky, are you in Michigan? I have recently plunged on a Jones Diamond with unicorn fork. Oddly simple but has something I have not found in a bike...until now. I'm near Midland if you ever want a test ride. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Clem Smith 52cm Offroader

This is very interesting; thanks, Ian. I'll be very interested to hear more about the Clem on dirt, if you do tour on it. I rather expect I'd not buy a Clem, for me anyway, for dirt road riding, though, as I age and my back and neck get stiffer, I may end up buying one for comfort -- if I live tha

Must Build Up Clem Frame This thread has gotten really interesting for me, as I too was imagining my upcoming Clem build as kind of a Riv/Jones mashup. Further motivation! Now the only question is, Bosco or Jones Loop bar? On Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at 11:26:57 PM UTC-7, CMR wrote: > >

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Clem Smith 52cm Offroader

My comparison is more of a quick impression than any sort of extended experience with the two. I just had that same sensation spinning around parking lot/gravel, combining a set-back saddle position with swept-back bars set relatively high and far away. Is that the "in the bike" vs. "on the bik

That's a fabulous Clem which I almost had myself talked into 23 times, but I already have a green 45. I think the pink housings look great with the blue frame and white rack. It's all very Miami Vice ;-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners B

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Clem Smith 52cm Offroader

Is this the consensus among Clem owners who have ridden the Jones? I'd be interested to hear more about how they compare. In other news: 11:15 pm, and I've just put the finishing touches on the new Matthews. All well, except that Chauncey, with his focus on fat bikes, made the stays so wide that t

[RBW] Re: FS: Clem Smith 52cm Offroader

Thanks very much to Chris. I am delighted to give this bike a new home. This is a really neat bike. Reminds me a little bit of the Jones I test rode briefly a while back - just a little scaled back. Clem Jones Jr? Because no bike is truly "yours" until you've made some customizations, and beca

[RBW] Re: FS: Clem Smith 52cm Offroader

This beauty is still available. Honestly I'd keep it but the wheelbase is so long it makes storage a bit more difficult, it is just a few inches too large to fit comfortably in my bike shed. First world problems, I know! Local riders please make an offer with any parts deducted, happy to sell in

[RBW] Re: FS: Clem Smith 52cm Offroader

Still available, I've decided to keep the bullmoose bars for local sale but uncertain how they'd fit in a bike box. For shipped I'll replace it with an equally nice Nitto Technomic + Soma Oxford bar. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Own

[RBW] Re: FS: Clem Smith 52cm Offroader

Yes it is a Public rack! The cream is a really nice match. I have a pink rear rack by Public with the same spring, I can throw it in for anyone local if asked. https://flic.kr/p/Gd2XNL Use that link for photos and scroll right please for more photos! -- You received this message because you a

What a fun looking ride. Is that a Public Bicycle front rack? My wife has one that looks like it on her Public mixte. I guess a Clem makes everything look better. On Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at 11:26:57 PM UTC-7, CMR wrote: > > Clem Smith Jr. 52cm Frameset in blue, with white paint accent
