Hello All,
Thanks for all the helpful replies! I posted an earlier reply, with some
pics (of another bike), which is either still awaiting moderation, or got
lost.

I don't think so. I asked on Instagram (I think Will runs it) if they would fit
a Paul mount and he said I would need the (discontinued) adapter.

Really nice, Joe. I love the detail given to the black parts. The rack is
really attractive in that finish. Top notch build.

Yes, exciting. I tested them out at Riv the other day, and I like them a lot.
Very nice under the bar positioning as thumbshifters.

You should call it “Golden Boy!”
I think two things:
1. Your Clem’s mustard is nicer than the other mustards somehow.
2. THAT SADDLE. 🤩
That is all. Carry on.

if it were me, i would see if i could find a used wheelset at the same
pricepoint but with more classic parts (non-disc hubs, more silver parts).
you could, as someone else mentioned, do a want-to-buy post for a wheelset
at $150.

I'd look for some old five arm 94 BCD MTB cranks. If they're 94/58 BCD,
just ignore the 58 bolt circle and fit the 46/30 on the 94 bolt circle.
I've picked up a couple of these cranksets cheap off fleabay. For instance,
here's a right hand 94 BCD 175mm Shimano crank for $11:

Yes the play is normal. I don't know the mechanics of all this, but I've heard
stories of people adjusting it too tight and breaking stuff in there. You want
it snug enough that the frame itself isn't actually moving around, but not
hurting your hand to close it.

Herse cranks are a thing of beauty. I would personally go 107mm cranks if the
chainrings clear and you won’t have heel rub issues. Since you’re going to
utilize big-big combo at times, it makes sense to move the big chainring
inboard a bit.

Lotsa good options and thoughts here. I must admit I'm leaning toward the
Herse setup, damn the cost. If I'm going to pay to go custom, I may as well
spend my wad.

The wheels linked are both disc and rim brake compatible. They should work
fine with the Clem. They're quite heavy, but probably pretty bomber.

Those wheels look just fine, one thing you might want to consider is tubeless
compatibility. I ride every day in NYC (up until today when a slick spot in
Queens led to a busted clavicle), and tubeless has been a total game changer.

I’ve had fine luck with machine built wheels, and a human can check them over
once you get them.

Welcome to the list. Please post a photo of your Clem.
It used to be that cheap wheels were machine built, and that the cheaper
the wheels, the less hand truing. And $155 is pretty cheap! But perhaps
machine built wheels are better now? I've not bought machine-built wheels
for decades.
The compon
In my experience almost all lower end (cheaper) Shimano parts work really well.
That Altus derailer is great, the standard MTB levers are great, there are
cheap thumb shifters that work great, the cheaper v brakes are great. Splurge

Is there any company that produces a 650B version of something like this?
