It's basically the same, just a little stiffer. The L has a smidge of flex
in the frame that shows up if you load a bunch of weight on it (some folks
I've mentioned this to say they don't notice it, YRMV). Grab that H, it's a
good frame!

I answered a similar question in more detail a while ago in other threads,
and can try to direct you to them when I have time at a real computer.
Short summary: I got a Susie thinking it would be a replacement for my
clem Clem H, assuming it would be similar with a few minor improvements.

Thank you for the offer, I’m looking at a 59. Just trying to decide if I can
justify it as a companion to my Susie.

You are in the right place to get help on that. HAHA!

Offer? I don't have one for sale, I'm just saying they're good.
As for it being a good companion to a Susie that depends on what you're
looking to do. If you want racks and bags to go shopping and the Susie is
set up as a mountain bike, well there ya go. Different bikes for different
stuff!
Sorry Joe, I was on my phone replying o a private message and for some
reason my phone decided it went here instead! Thank you for the information
on the frame!

Thank you for the thoughts Richard, nice looking bike! I do like the idea
of the step thru on these. Especially for loading it up while pulling my
daughter in the trailer. I don’t have any trouble getting a leg over but
sometimes it could be a benefit.

I have a Clem L and a Clem H. The L has 18 speeds (2X9) and the L has 11
(1X11). The L was a stock build and cost me $1750 from Riv direct, though
I later added an Atlas wheel set with Deore hubs. The H cost me about
$4000 all told, built up with nicer parts, dynolights, and the frame cost
Interesting Keith! I definitely plan to use a Clem as my main commuter to
haul groceries and my daughter around. I absolutely love my Susie but hate
leaving it locked up outside when we are going in anywhere for more than a
few minutes. Do you find the Susie BB too high? It is low to me coming f
Thank you for the comparison Alex! I’d love for the Clem to be fun for a
bit faster riding but I wasn’t expecting it to be so your comments about
the L vs H are nice to hear! Though the parts difference on them make a
huge difference I’m sure. The H I’m looking at has some upgrades over
stock.
In this comparison it would certainly be nice to know the weights of each bike
& how much of that weight difference is in the wheels / tires. I cannot imagine
much difference in the weight of the frames?

Hi Bob,
What's your gearing on that awesome Clem? Chainring / cassette combo?
Thanks

I have a first-gen, 59cm Clem H, and my experience follow's Alex's. I have
an Xtracycle Edgerunner that fills the Dutch-bike-upright, low step-thru,

Thanks! And to answer Max's question, I'm running a White Industries
36-tooth chainring and an 11-42 MicroShift Advent 9-speed cassette. (Also,
an Advent 9-speed derailleur and thumbie in friction mode.)

Good taste, by the way.
Your Chumba is designed to accommodate a suspension fork, right? That's
probably why it feels so high. It needs to have bb clearance even when
the fork is compressed.
For a brief moment, I thought the Clem you're looking at was my old one
(same size, color, fenders
That’s a lot of great information Keith, thank you for taking the time!
First, the Chumba was made to use up to a 120mm suspension fork I believe.
They are open about their higher than average bottom brackets. It was a
very stable bike. The Susie was just a bike I’ve wanted since it came out.

Hi!
I had a Clem H and my wife has the same size Clem L. I noticed right away
there were a few differences; the L has a longer top tube, longer front
center, and longer wheelbase. The difference in top tube length means bars
fit differently, stem lengths will need to be adapted, etc. This is no
I purchased a Clem H in 2017 after really digging my wife's L. I would've
sprung for an L myself on account of how elegant the frame looks, but I was
hooked on the mustard color and have no regrets. It's long, comfortable,
and equally capable of commuting across town or bombing down fire roads
