It's still puzzling; why is a girl's name offensive? Beats me! Weird.

The knicker-twisting was not about the drop frame itself, but that it was
given a "girl's" name, and therefore perpetuated (harmful, offensive,
presumptive, restricting??) stereotypes about...not sure what. In any case,

What is wrong with "girls' bikes"? (That question is general, not directed
to Mark.) That seems a strange thing to twist knickers. (Male and female
knickers, that is.)
I personally have no use for a drop frame bicycle -- well, if I had a
dedicated, short distance grocery bike, I'd probably prefer
Yes, the step-through is great for rear child seats and lots of other town
riding situations. Another plus the Clem L has is a nice low bar, whereas
the large Cheviot is pretty up there and will require more of a lean. And

Hi Mark,
I live in an apartment in Manhattan and I find the Clem is a large bike for our
elevators and a little inconvenient to keep in an apartment, so I was thinking
that a more “standard” sized bike would be easier to deal with. The step
through feature is easier when carrying a child on the
Hi All,
It pains me to do this, but its become apparent that I purchased the wrong
bike. I should have gotten the Cheviot for the kind of riding I use this
for.
This is a stock build Clem with less than 100 miles tops, used only on
pavement in NYC, primarily to take the grandkids for rides on
