Hey Gang, I stopped by Rivelo in Portland for the first time recently. What a great shop with all the bike and camping gear, hatchets, and a entire wall of Bob Dylan albums for sale.
It took a minute before I noticed but sitting right next to an orange Cheviot was an orange Clementine. Or maybe it's a clementine Clementine??? Shop owner John (nice to meet you!) let me ride the Clementine for a bit. It was set up with Bosco bars and fat knobby tires. It was great! The Hunqa fork goes a long way to making this bike look super tough. I admit that based only on internet pics and reading about the Clem/Clementine I was not very impressed. But it was a whole different story to see it in person and ride it, and now I'm a believer. Even the Clementine with the swooping tubes had a rough/tough/beefy look to it. Not "girly" at all (hey, I like "girly"). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Clementine to anyone especially for the price. Heck, now I'm itching to add one to my band of bicycles. I'm pretty sure I would even go with a Clementine over the Clem because of the drop tube. Here's a few pics from my short shop visit: https://www.flickr.com/gp/sk8_or_die/XV8E26 Aaron Young The Dalles, OR -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
