Curved stays = rear suspension! I think the history of the Clem lineage began with the seat lugs on the Highs. That they had been made for a big frame and the way to work around the fixed seat stay angles for multiple sizes was the curve. I think that's why the 65 H has no curve. Glad they've ke

Kai, this one doesn't have the new seat lug, but I was really happy when I pulled the frame from the box and saw the curved stays. On Thursday, December 7, 2017 at 8:00:53 PM UTC-8, Kainalu V. wrote: > > That's beeauuutiful. I like that the seatstays are curvy. The 65 Clem H's > are straight as

I think the 59 would be the one for you in the Clem. I was tempted by the Cheviot, but I'm on the outer edge of that one, too. I could have made it work, but the big Clem is a great fit. Jay On Thursday, December 7, 2017 at 7:40:52 PM UTC-8, MountNormal wrote: > > So at a saddle height of 76,

So at a saddle height of 76, a fella might have the post slammed down against the seat tube? I ask because the PBH range for the 60 Cheviot seemed to cover a lot of ground and I thought that the 64 Clem might fall within my range. Someday I NEED a step-through...ok, it's a WANT but a really inte

Stephen, I don't know that I ever saw one. At one point, I was ready to order a 59 Clem, but I was on the outer edge of fit for that, with about a 97 PBH, so I backed off and waited--and very glad I did. The Clem has a Brooks B67, so I run the seat a centimetre lower than on my other bikes at a
