[RBW] New Mtn Bike = Clem L for Me?

I’ve been wondering what the appeal is of the L as opposed to the H Clem. Is it just the ease of stepping through/onto and off of the bike? Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receivi

Re: [RBW] Re: Blahg Post Ethiopian Shoes

This is a request for Grant to follow up his Blahg post about the status of his order. We need to know if this is a legitimate company. The products seem wonderful and many folks like to support emerging markets but only if the business is above board. Thanks. Doug -- You received this messag

Re: [RBW] Re: Blahg Post Ethiopian Shoes

Good deal! I think we in a highly advanced free enterprise capitalist country may have somewhat unrealistic expectations of businesses. Next day air, two day free shipping, orders shipped same day. For an up and coming economy and business the extra time is probably a minor inconvenience that is

[RBW] Clem L 59 -- Considering a purchase

The lack of a horizontal bar takes PBH somewhat out of the equation. I called and talked to Grant and he recommended the 59 for me...a self-measured 83 PBH. He was skeptical of my measurement and said I’d probably be an 85. I like some flexibility in seat post height and on a 59 I think it would

[RBW] Re: Clem L 59 -- Considering a purchase

Which bars do you have on your Clem L DadDadDaddio? I have considered this bike as well and am waffling back and forth between the 52 and 59. I’m close to your same height and have a 83 PBH. Are you stretched out at all on it to reach the bars? Thanks, Doug -- You received this message becaus
