That latest post makes it sound like Joe and Clem are two different bikes. That has always been my understanding and appears to be the clear (well, clear for GP's writing anyway) message from Riv. Not at all sure why so many here assumed they were the same. -- You received this message

It wasn't an assumption. For months, the word had been that Sam Hillborne would be benched in order to enable the company to focus on bringing out the Clem Smith Jr. Then this second-to-most-recent Blug post was put out on November 19: Some of you know already. Our most popular bike of all

But wasn't the Clem name used for the long chainstay, canti braked, partially TIG'd bike that was up on the Blug a few months back? I'm still confused about any difference between the two. On Sat, Nov 22, 2014 at 8:00 PM, Joe Bernard joerem...@gmail.com wrote: They were never the same bike.

Answering Eric's question, I was confused until Grant's recent post. Grant's message clarifies which two bikes are on the horizon. The source of the confusion had been as follows and this repeats what Joe B just said with a bit of background added: Appaloosa was a name for a bike that Riv made

Per newest Blug update. Probably makes sense to keep the Sam for a bit more as its their best selling bike and all. I mean I think its a great deal without any Clem Appaloosa etc The PLAN was to put Sam on hiatus, let it take a breather in the wings while we introduced joe Appaloosa…and also
