Holy smokes that’s a lotta bike. It looks like one of Bill Walton’s old rides (look for Dead stickers on the dt). I stayed in aptly named Eden Utah skiing this past winter. Man, just fell in love with that place. On Wednesday, July 17, 2024 at 10:54:03 AM UTC-4 Kainalu V. -Brooklyn NY wrote:

The fact that the OP’s query has already been thoroughly dealt with won’t dissuade me from chiming in on a subject near and dear (besides, if posters were not able to beat dead horses this forum would have dissolved years ago). I own a Clem and ride off road, gravel/trail riding is the fourth

I couldn’t find Ram on Riv sizing chart but assume a pbh of 93 would make this frame too small. If any ram owners care to substantiate I’d appreciate it. On Friday, July 8, 2022 at 2:04:44 AM UTC-4 Chris Freeman wrote: > Super beautiful and well-cared for Rivendell Rambouillet 60cm frameset

Yeah, I second what Joe said. The only thing I’ve managed to break on my Clem is a nipple and it took a concerted effort of dumbness to do that. That bike is bulletproof. On Tuesday, July 5, 2022 at 7:59:49 PM UTC-4 Joe Bernard wrote: > I've owned a Susie and several Clem Ls, the Clem is

So it’s been 15 months. I love the bike and extoll it’s virtues to anyone who asks (and to some who don’t). It was not love at first sight. I bought a clem for it’s personality - and price. Comfort and off-road capability were the inducements. As time passed I came to appreciate clem’s beauty

Expectancy bias should perhaps be factored into the equation. The Atlantis is a fancier more expensive bike and that fact can’t help but influence perceptions. As someone who has had both bikes I would contend that if you rode them both blindfolded (admittedly a dicey undertaking) you’d be
