With all due respect I would be very surprised if the Clems weigh 25-27 lbs; I'd be more inclined to guess somewhere north of 30 lbs. I suspect my custom is more than 30...the boxed bike with the uber-Riv protective packaging weighed 35 lbs according to the customs stamp. But as you said, Joe, you didn't weigh it.And whatever it weighs , it's not a deal-breaker...in my experience Rivs ride light whatever they weigh
Now what interests me is what you said about carrying bikes up and down stairs...because you wouldn't want to leave that pretty Clem locked to a lightpost. Yeah, I will admit up and down the stairs is a challenge with mine because I like one hand free for balance (been like this for quite a number of years). With my other bikes with diamond frames, the top tube rests on my shoulder so no problemo. Maybe you guys and gals have some tips for schlepping step throughs up and down stairs...kinda dumb, I know. But the garage is NOT an option for my Rivendells , and I live in a pretty decent neighborhood but shit happens as we all know. Thanks in advance for any advice in that regard....Ryan On Thursday, August 17, 2017 at 2:51:23 PM UTC-5, Joe Bernard wrote: > > No idea, but I would guess around 25-27 lbs. without racks.
