I was nearly responding to the notion that (as I percieved it) she only rides
in the environment pictured and that a Clem would be an upgrade. The relevance
of mud on the tires is that clearly she doesn't ride solely on the esplanades
of Columbia and that her bike likely sees serious offroad use
I don't, Mark, your original post isn't a comment at all, it's just a thread
title and a photo of someone on a bike. Then I commented somewhat humorously
(for I am hilarious, ask anybody) and Masmojo responded to that. From here I
see you objecting to his response to my response, it doesn't star
I wonder if people actually read and digest that reading? My point, made
several times, has nothing to do with whether her bicycle cost $219 or
$2,119.00. Dollars for donuts, it has already been pointed out that the

Yeah, it's hard to pin down exact details but that's a pretty solid modern
XC mountain bike. The members here are extremely knowledgeable about
certain types of bicycles, but this thread has been kind of funny to read

evidence that she rode other more extreme environments than the city streets.
In fact if you enbiggen the picture there are numerous tip offs that this is
not a dept. Store bike.
The wheels are REALLY nice, carbon fiber s

some manufacturer convinced the city that shocks and discs and flat bars
make sense on a city bike. Because that's what they want to sell. Fashion.
Whether or not the mayor is a gonzo mountain biker is completely unknown
In the context of riding only the streets indicated in the article, totally
agree that the pictured mountain bike doesn't make sense. I was assuming,
if it's her bike, that she does ride trails on it. My point was the
intended purpose of that bicycle is quite different than the Clem, and when
This thread reminds me how far off the "beaten path" this group really is,
haha. That bike looks like a pretty decent mountain bike, and while I love
to romanticize about the joys of a simple, capable bicycle as much as any
Riv owner, telling someone they should give up their much-more-capable
And of course the Clem could also handle the mud with a plum!
