While waiting for Clem, and still trying to convince myself that the large 59cm frame would indeed be large enough, I decided to do an experiment: get a 80s MTB, largest I could find (57cm center-top seattube in this case) and push it to the height limits and try and make it work for me. I figured if a 57cm, non-sloping top tube frame could work for me, then I'd be convinced I'd be happy with a 59cm Clem. Top it off by trying to make it a drop bar conversion as well. After gathering parts, some from this list (thanks!) I put together a Schwinn Impact as a single speed - easiest way to build up a bike and pretty much all I need for the terrain here. Side note: the late 80s Schwinn graphics were far too subdued for the late 80s, so naturally it needed hot pink shellacked Newbaum's tape.
