I'm thinking this as well. Didn't they say something about the swooptube being hard to do with lugs? They've only done tig frames with swooptubes right? Charlie, gus/susie etc.

My no evidence fantasy guess is if it's a lugged hillibike variation it'll be something more akin the Hunqapillar but with some updated "riv" quality of life improvements. Maybe gus like room for rubber and longer wheelbase. As much as I like swoopy tubes - diamond frames and frame bag capacity is a nice feature for "adventure" bikes.

I agree with Joe. There isn't. a huge need for a Susie variant when the Clem L already kind of covers that.

My guess is swooptube. My hope is it leans towards the Gus side of the equation with 1-1/8" threadless and heavier duty tubes, I feel that the Susie/Wolbis side was already adequately covered by like 7 different Rivbikes. I've just started trail riding again (after many years) and may pop for this new frame if it specs out to my preferences.Joe Bernard

Care to make any speculations or predictions? According to the latest Riv IG post, it only says "lugged, green and dark gold".My main questions are:Will it have a straight top tube like the Platy / Roscoe Bubbe, or the nice graceful swoopy one like Gus / Susie / Charlie?1" threaded or 1-1/8" threadless (like Gus)?Heavier tubing (like Gus), or lighter duty (like Susie)?

Well a hardy har har ..... ! I don't see the Susie and Clem-L as being anywhere near interchangeable. The Clem-L still looks like a girls bike to me, the Susie/Gus with the swooptube looks cool. The Gus/Susie also a whole lot more steering trail than all the other models, and it's unmistakable the difference in handling. Maybe the Clem-L is "California cool", but in Heartland America away from the big cities, it just doesn't relate. To each their own ! Nor do I see the Susie as a bike covered by any other model. If any model is a doppelganger, it's the Appaloosa for an Atlantis, minus the weird second TT on the larger sizes and paint.While the swooptube to me is a whole lot more elegant than a straight one, however the latest Hillibike appears it will be accepted just peachy.At the end of the day though, everyone rides a bike, regardless of appearances .So "disagreements" are like ripples of the Ocean. A wave here, a wave there, waves every-where..... no two are ever alike. Yet each and every wave is but the Ocean Itself. Surfs up baby, lets go for a ride ! ! !

My guess would have been 1in threaded with thicker tubing, which feels like a clem.

Two biggest differences (in my opinion) between a Clem L and either a Gus or Susie; the latter are not step through frames & they both have a significantly higher bottom bracket than the Clem. I think the Clem is accurately described as a “Hillibike”. Gus & Susie are legit mountain bikes. Love them both!
