Hey Patrick, I ride much smaller sized bikes than you, but I had a 45cm Clem H and currently have a 45cm Clem L. Both the pre-2019 26" wheel size. I actually sold the Clem H to a friend after riding my wife's Clem L and realizing I liked her Clem L better. The top tube on the 45cm Clem L is 5cm

Chris, same! Or at least similar. Mine is a 52 & I fluctuate between 170-175lbs. I CAN make the bike flex (grab the bars and shake from side to side) but it simply does not happen under normal riding. Any flex I do get is likely part & parcel of the comfortable ride? I had a PX10 once. That was the

Subjective data point: At twelve stone (168lbs) I have yet to experience the often stated flex on a (64cm) Clem, even with a couple rear panniers of produce, or while accelerating along an extended climb (without panniers, mind you) while passing the majority of our weekly cycling group (I like

FWIW, I think we discussed and resolved the question of whether the Clem H geometry changed along with the Clem L before being dropped, a couple or few years back. This isn't gospel, but the consensus was that it didn't. Here's an archived geometry table from, from when both were available, a

To chime in as a long time 59cm Clem (H) rider: I have the first run version which has a shorter top tube than the current L versions. The H might possibly have gotten a longer top tube at some point before it was discontinued. I've hemmed/hawed over the years about 'upgrading' to an Atlantis o

Thanks, Kim; that is very doable and in fact the list for a built-up Clem on the Riv site is very attractive. Color is of least concern, especially as, for now, I am thinking of one to use as a beater; patchwork or primer with a few dents would be ideal. I'm much more interested in the ride feel (

Thanks, Garth. I hadn't followed the model's genesis. Can any owner and rider say how the H compares in handling and overall "fit and feel" to the L? Does anyone know where to find the geom specs for the H? Thanks. On Tue, Sep 3, 2024 at 11:27 AM Garth wrote: > Patrick, the first Clems were m
