Although my Clementine was a naturally comfortable fit out of the blocks, I did give myself time to adapt to the upright position and the Bosco Bulls. I have no issues with getting up out of the saddle to honk up a hill with this setup. And of course it it no problem to gear down and spin up. I will not be touring any time soon, I look forward to reading about your experiences out on the long road with a Clementine. Bon voyage.
