John- Thanks, I’ve been caught up in recovery mode for a while. Back on my feet finally and, thanks to Will at Riv, back on a bike. I was planning to pick up a Clem in last weeks sale but when he heard about my plight, he offered a demo Clem to buy that they had in the shop. Of course I jumped at the chance and picked it up in WC when taking my daughter back to school nearby. So nice to be back up and riding so soon after our total loss. Have had to dodge the bad air, recent rains and likely the flu from too much time spent in disaster recovery center with thousands of others but just being able to get out and ride on a gorgeous Clem almost makes up for the loss of my beloved platy. For now though, my apartment living situation makes me a one bike guy. And, thanks to Will and the good folks at Riv, that’s a Clem in British Racing Green. So thankful for their help!
