As to original question posed. I say yes it is absolutely ok, go for it and why not. My experience is that people you can pass in this manner are generally the more considerate and aware types. They don't seem startled or to mind. I know I dont, just slow down a bit and go on about your buisness

Hi masmojo, I have read various opinions on the ride qualities would you share your impressions on how they differ. From what I put together I thought it would be good enough. I anticipate that the clem will ride a bit more husky than the appa but what impressed me was the smooth yet nimble fee

Thanks for the feedback ian. I read as much as I can and hand wring while trying to make sense of the numbers but admittedly I am no where near close to an expert on any of that. I usually just go by how a bike"feels" for what I am looking to do with it. Now I had a long CS hunqapillar proto th

Definitely different opinions here which makes things fun and interesting, I guess it just remains to be seen as to how i feel the Clem rides once it arrives. I briefly spoke to Grant about Clem and he gave it a ringing endorsement "your gonna love it". I didn't go into all the details and ask
