I rode a Clem today, at RBW HQ. It was a 59 or so... but tall enough seat post and those grand king bars, I fit just fine (I'm 6'6").
What a delightful ride! This is a very sweet bike, relaxed yet still with a quickness to the steering that I liked. The test ride was setup with Vee brakes, very eager to stop, and glad for that since I was descending the road with my hands on the flats, forgot that it didn't have interrupter levers, and YOW the brakes did the job when my invisible levers were missing. The rear seatclamp lug is really impressive, I could see it becoming standard across the entire line, and bet other custom builders will be asking to use it. Yes, the welds on the front where the lugs should be are unappealing, but I think anyone who enjoys the riding characteristics will quickly get over that. Everyone should go take a test ride on it, and I hope RBW sells all they can make. The dark green (British Racing?) is the bomb. - Andrew, Berkeley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
