I see your bike on the Radivist, but I wouldn't sell you old bike until you can find a replacement, or try harder to make the Clem work for you. They don't make the Clem any more and are hard to find. If you do sell, you should consider keeping all the parts and swapping them to a new frame like the MIT 50cm Atlantis or 51cm Appaloosa both of which have shorter top tubes, but a new frame alone will be $1800 and a complete new build with the same parts you have can easily add another $2000 .
