[RBW] New Clem L Owner - Initial reaction

It's a great bike, and I absolutely agree about the step-through thing. I've ridden recumbents and folders for about 10 years now, and got spoiled by the low step-over of those bikes. I had a Clem L for a while which was fabulous, and just replaced it with a Cheviot mixte. You're going to love

[RBW] New Clem L Owner - Initial reaction

I received my 59cm Clem L last week and thought I'd post my initial experience and thoughts. To put my comments in perspective: I'm 62 years old, 5'9", and have loved riding a bike since my first Schwin Collegiate 5 speed as a kid. Over the years, I've owned Raliegh, Trek, and Cannondale

Re: [RBW] New Clem L

Patrick: 1. Google Pixel, which is known for having a killer camera. 2. Cassette is 11-34 (could be 12) 9-speed. 3. Stem length is 13cm. I wouldn't go much shorter for a North Road or Albatross, maybe 10 or 11 cm. 4. The theory (which I've tested) for Bosco is you get a sit-bolt-upright

Re: [RBW] New Clem L

Pretty bike, and wonderfully clear photos -- I'll bet you didn't use your iPhone? What is your cassette? And question about that swept-back Bosco: that stem looks like a 10 (I ride 8s on my Riv Roads, and a 9 -- may go to a 10 -- on my Matthews -- but long -- 125 mm -- reach Maes Parallels; and

It's a 52 (sorry, I thought I mentioned that). I'm 5'-7", pbh roundabout (I don't think my measurement is super accurate) 790. The seatpost showing here is with Silver 173mm cranks..would be higher with my normal 170s. The virtual toptube is about 60cm and it's STILL too short with those crazy

Nice ride! If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? Also, that's the 52, right? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Great looking bike. I had decided to get one of the 64 Ls when they come in, but I now I've let the idea go. I've got all the racks and things I need to press my Joe into hauling and commuting service. Maybe a Clem when my ship comes in. Enjoy yours. It looks just fabulous. Jay -- You

Got it yesterday, did a few miles shakedown/adjust-stuff ride today. To steal Velouria's blog name, what a lovely bike! It has the magical smooth-but-maneuverable Riv ride, and boy is that low toptube nice at when hopping on and off. After years of enjoying the low stepover of folding bikes, I

Beautiful set up, and as has been mentioned on this list before, the Silvers fit on the S.A. bases. Easy swap, but maybe not necessary if you can stand the infernal clicking. -Kai Brooklyn NY -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

Hey, you got cream details on the fork! Cool! Good luck with those shifters..I had them on the Clem I borrowed for the Bike Snob Book Ride, and *really* didn't like them. I'd take Silver Power Ratchets over those things any day. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Very nice! I love the blue, which I believe we discussed after I bought my blue Appaloosa. We were right! :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email

The Clem-L Complete that I pre-ordered back in April, arrived this past Friday. (Happy dance!!) The photo was taken today during my first grocery run with the bike. The approximately 11-mile round trip is my longest ride to date since a 2-year disability layoff from cycling, and recent hip
