Speculating about the new Riv MTB, my favorite pastime! I think I will end
up buying one; here are my (wild speculations) regarding points #2 and #3,
It seems that the new MTB will have been designed from the beginning mainly
for trails, whereas the Clem was more designed as an all-rounder that
I just hope this new mtb is a trail bike first and foremost and not a
touring bike with bigger tires. Not that using a touring bike on a trail is
impossible or anything, just that a bike made for trails will have a
different geometry, tubes, intended handlebar, bottom bracket height, ect.

Good thing Joe Bernard is taller than I am with my 79.5pbh and 5'5" height
otherwise I would be buying most of his bikes sold in this forum :-)

I know the fork will be very similar to the hubbuh-hubbuh fork. So no lugs
there, but pretty in its own way.
We will know by 9/12 though, so less than a month! Oh goodie!

I think you read that most modern mountain bikey people wouldn't consider Clem
a mountain bike. That's definitely not a claim Grant made. It's a mountain
bike.

Since we're all wishing & guessing, I'll play. My expectation would be for
the MTB to be evolutionary from the Clem & not revolutionary. The elders
on the list may remember that the rigid MTBs of the 80s/early 90s got tons
of people out riding who just wanted a fun bike & were turned off by th
Wasn't there also a recent statement somewhere, in discussing the forthcoming
mtb, that actually said "the Clem is NOT suitable as a mountain bike"? That
one was curious to me.
As to why you'd want the new one... or both:
- We know the mtb will have more standover clearance for a given size in
Another difference will be a threadless fork, allowing the plethora of current
31.8 stems and bars to fit.
I'm not sure Clem H is going away simply because of the new MTB. I think the L
is selling better so that's the Clem they're keeping.

here are my guesses for differences in ride/utility:
1. more standover / sloping top tube.
2. more tire clearance (as indicated above).
3. slightly more mountain geometry.

1. What is it, in general, that would make the new MTB supplant the
need for Rivendell to continue making the Clem H?
They are close to equivalent and carrying both costs too much
