If they were full crossover for me and I could honestly use either one in
all situations then I would take the one that I felt was the most
comfortable or honestly which one I just felt looked better. I will say
that if I was absolutely forced down to one Rivendell I think it would be
the Clem.
Having ridden both, I'd say that the clem may face some limitations when it
comes to heavier loaded rides (that you may not be expecting or planning)
because the flex on the frame is a lot more noticeable on the clem than the
platy.

Thanks, Josh and everybody else that chimed in with leads! Happy to say my orange Cheviot got delivered yesterday, and I’m looking forward to building it up and getting some miles with it as soon as I can. NicOn Jun 27, 2024, at 20:24, Josh C wrote:https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/142959
I love the fact that this is fixed. Looks perfect and I bet it rides as

Is this the first fixed Atlantis?

Huh, weird.
In my limited experince, a front end hit is usually pretty obvious if
you're looking for it. I would also expect the damage to be right at the
lug tip, and it doesn't look to me like it is. Irregardless, I really
doubt whatever that is will ever be a (non-emotional) issue and it's ea
Sorry all. The Hubba did not work out for me, for reasons not having to do
with the bike. But Jared did send me many more pics and the bike looks to
be in truly incredible shape. Someone grab this thing!

Hi Ray,
As a fellow Riv Rider of a certain age with a sorta-mixte custom (Platy-ish
design) and a Clem L, I would choose Clem. The stepover is lovely, the tire
clearance grand, it doubles as a trail bike and just plain has character.
To quote the good and great Leah Peterson, Clems are gems!

Very impressed with the chair!
I've built a number of items in our home, more Thos. Moser 'shaker' style,
but never a chair!
As to the cars: We often ride through the San Ysidro Ranch on our bike
rides, and there were a half dozen of those things in the lot. I think
they're funny. Makes
A friend and I did the Seattle to Portland ride this past weekend (205 miles in
either one or two days), and we were both surprised to see a number of riders
on electric bikes.
I haven’t done many large cycling events since the rise in popularity of
electric bikes. When I did large-scale rides
Holy smokes that’s a lotta bike. It looks like one of Bill Walton’s old
rides (look for Dead stickers on the dt). I stayed in aptly named Eden Utah
skiing this past winter. Man, just fell in love with that place.

I like that people are coming out to events and enjoying themselves and
sharing the benefits of being outdoors. There are groups that I am fast
aging into, and electric bikes is absolutely one of them. The confidence

The early AR’s were 26”, later ones especially the larger sizes were 700 c.

Hey Joe,
They’re both great bikes but the Clems are kind of sleepers. You wouldn’t
guess they ride as nice as they do just by looking.
Chris, Thos Moser makes some really nice furniture.
I’m going to build a tool chest to work out the construction details and
then build a blanket chest.

I own one. I have a Tern e-Cargo bike that allows me to ride more. I don’t have free time for recreational riding currently so errands are the only way I get to ride. I do as many errands as I can on “normal” bikes but the Tern lets me get more miles in since it allows me to ride when I would other
I know some get offended at the sight of one. At the end of the day,
they’re two wheeled machines that get ridden by folks who like to ride. I

That is FANTASTIC.

My Quickbeam is pretty dialed. Enough that I’ve given away or sold spare
wheelsets or built other bikes around them.
The bell is pretty terrible, though. It’s a Sogreni fancy-pants unit I got
from a Riv garage sale for $5. Apparently someone there also found it hard
to ring and dull sounding!
