Interesting. I had a T1000 touring bike years ago, and even then I found it
too rigid. As I age this issue takes front and center, I'm like the
princess and the pea. I agree that the first step is always fat, supple
tires. For me, that eliminates any frame that can't take anything bigger
than 2
I'll take the middle ground. Let him get the lay of the land before making
a decision.

I know nothing about college theft BUT if he is relying on bus
transportation as well I am 99.9% positive that a Clem that size won't work
with their racks. If thats the case then more often than not the bike won't
get used. Side note...judging by photos the 59 Clem looks like a really
good fit

Another consideration is the climate where your son will be attending college. Road salt is a good way to trash a bike, or at least the drivetrain. It happened to my XO-1 after my first winter in Wisconsin — after that I road a sacrificial beater.My oldest daughter went to college in sunny LA and I
I'm with the majority here: don't do it. What's the upside? You didn't say
what his major is, but if it's anything that requires his full attention,
the bike is for getting around, not primarily enjoyment. If it won't
require that, why go at all?

I think I share most of the attitudes of the people shouting "Don't do it!"
But, I think there's some nuance behind it.
That nuance is this: If you send your child to college with a bicycle, PLAN
on that bicycle being stolen. Since you are planning on that bike being

Yes and no. You can get the stem shifters as a complete setup at
SomaFabShop for $120.
What you have pictured is missing a lot of parts. The shifters themselves,

Yes. A 56 Susie takes a 29" tire. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong.

Some adaptation may be possible, I don't know.

Lots of good points were made here, and I’m grateful you took the time, All. We still have a year left with our son, and the Clem will hopefully get lots of use here, for now. One of the Riv Riders on this forum is a professor at our university of choice (no, we aren’t certain my son is going there

I'm surprised this hasn't sold. I had been watching and waiting since they
were announced for a medium to come up for sale used. I finally found one
locally earlier this summer. Like my Gus, it is a wildly fun bike to ride.
I am almost tempted to have multiple Susie's with different set-ups but
One thing, Leah...and believe me ,no offense meant, but I know your
penchant for pretty things😊 If that bike goes to college, you might want
to dial down the bling. Just sayin'. In this wicked world, it's stressful
owning nice things. Your son SHOULD be able to ride his lovely Clem to
college,
Hello Roberta,
Thanks for adding your pin. It is now updated. You are correct- as the map
