the responses, I see I may be in good company...

Stem swap. Alright. I’m going to attempt this today. I will be a nervous wreck
the whole time, but I suppose if I really mess something up I can go back to
REI and do the walk of shame
Tom, the Clems. I’ve got it bad. We have enough in my family and extended
family that I think our family crest should be the Clem headbadge. Forget that
sewer guy.
I’m agonizing over the stem. I just purchased the 90 and paid to have it
installed. I wish the bars came just a smidge closer to me
Roberta made me so excited when she went to the Expo - for many reasons,
actually: she sent me photos, texts, updates, and SHE ALSO told me about this
fabulous blue. My bike was being shipped so it was very exciting to get to see
the paint through Roberta’s eyes. And yes, Roberta, I do think you
Ian has asked a very fair question, and I’m happy to answer - I am an open
book, ask away!
Why does Leah have a perfectly fitted Clementine but plans to sell it in favor
of a less well-fitted Clem L?
Because:
1. Leah is not immune to beautiful details.
2. Leah is a minimalist.
The Clementine
Yeah, except classy and not that trashy other 50 Shades! We will have no part
of *that*.

I hear that, Keith, I do. It’s a lot of money and a person should really love
something to drop big money on it.
But if I held to that way of thinking I wouldn’t be able to get the bike I want
from Rivendell. They removed Clementine and put Clem L. If I said “I don’t know

Oh, swoon, Alex! I’ll speak for this trio when I say we love you madly. 💛

Yes, I would agree with Andrew and Joe on the “Clem could be my only bike”
sentiment. You all know I started out with a Betty Foy, which I still have, but
the Clem’s step-through frame and the long chainstays make it the favorite. And
what of the Betty Foy?
This is embarrassing. It’s...my date
I have this same question, Roberta. Does anyone know when the next batch of
Clementines come to Rivendell? They really are beloved and they do sell.
Ryan is poking fun at me for Clem hoarding but it’s much worse than he thinks.
I started out with a Betty Foy and over time, I wore my family memb
Ian - thank you! I hope my experience mirrors yours. I’m working on it!
Garth, thank you for confirming the differences I suspected! I did order a new
stem; I think it’s a Nitto Technomic 90 mm, and I’m really hoping that brings
the bars sufficiently closer. I think the rest of the bike geometry
Oh, California and its many Strands! I was talking about The Strand near LA;
you are talking Silver Strand, which I did come across in my online research.
I’ll check out your recommendations - and thanks!

Tom, sigh, I can just imagine. It’s hard to watch your son grow, but also
pleasing to know he’s becoming a good man. I’m sure those “15 minutes with Dad”
in the mornings have shaped him toward that end. 💙
Thanks for your compliments on the Betty - she *is* a looker, and it can’t be
denied! It i
