For what it's worth, I have assembled almost every bike I own (which is a fair number) & in my late teens I worked in a bike shop, so I probably built a hundred or so bike during my stint there, but my Clementine was by far the most difficult I ever had to deal with. A myriad of small little nit-picky, annoying problems; aside from the tread issues mentioned above, I had a bottom bracket that just did not like the theading on the Clementine BB!? The 135mm spacing and log chainstays make mounting a rear rack somewhat challenging, some eyelets seem oddly spaced, the wheel skewer hits on the derailleur when removing the rear wheel,and a half dozen smaller little things that I don't remember now. On the plus side, when I got to building the second one, it went much smoother! ;-)
