Clem H 52 gone in record time. Who is the lucky winner?

[Alex K]

Well, that was quick!  Got an email that there was one final Clem H 52cm available at 310pm and it was gone by 319pm.  I was considering buying for a friend who is looking for that exact bike.  Not only was it marked down from $900 to $800, but there was a $100 credit if purchased before 12/31.  Somebody out there is real stoked and with good reason.  I think it had the sloped seatstays, too.   Sheesh, this collecting Rivs is feeling eerily like collecting baseball cards 25 years ago.  When do you know you don't need anymore precious steel bicycles?

That was me! I saw the email and snapped into action immediately, I think I checked out in less than 60 seconds. I just missed a green Clem H that a list member was selling a while back, and almost bought a Clem L in the meantime so I was 100% ready to pull the trigger. Third time's the charm!

This will be Riv #2 (#1 is a long-chainstay Atlantis). It's also the perfect excuse for me to pass on my canti brake All City Space Horse to a friend who's ready to upgrade his ride.

Best of luck finding the next Riv!

Ha I noticed your speed too Brent!  I got the email and immediately look at the Riv site, saw it listed.. I wasn't planning on buying it but I can't say I don't love the idea of a 52 Clem (the 45 was too small for me so I've passed it along), but I noticed when i navigated back to that page just a few minutes later it was gone and I smiled to myself knowing someone else was all over it
