This is strictly hearsay because the geometry charts are gone and my memory skills are questionable but I'll start here: the current Clem L is crazy longer in the effective toptube than the originals. I believe the 52 is now 65cm ETT and the 45 is 62cm ETT. If I recall correctly - maybe Leah

[RBW] Platypus/Clem sizing

I have a 52 Clem L that feels a bit large for me and am trying to decide whether to replace it with a 50 Platypus or a 45 Clem L (If anyone has a 50 Cheviot frame in silver or blue I would be interested). Does anyone know if there's much of a difference between the two sizes? The 52

It is probably some version of the IRD sub compact. My last apartment had a side door that took a skeleton key. I had a box of old keys and one worked on that door. I found another similar key and filed it down to work, too. So that became the door we always used, because why wouldn't I?
