As noted in another recent post, I’m a sucker for Clem-related things of

Unlike many on this forum, it's easier for me to say and do that since I
only have one bike - a Clem 59H. And, in the interests of accuracy in
counting, I'm not including my 1970s road bike because it simply decorates

I've only had my Clem Smith Jr since late spring of this year and have put
