Hi all, 
for I bought a Clem Smith Jr. last September and have ridden and enjoyed it but now it is time to sell.  This bike has been upgraded as follows"

generator hub and light

better Shimano pedals

better seat  Brooks B67S

rivendell handle bar treatment,  shellacked bar tape and cork grips

The bicycle is in very good shape 

I paid $1,600 for a complete bike and the upgrades added to the cost.

Asking price is $1,500 or you have a different offer.

Size 52 according to another post by Brian. If it was a 45 I’d buy it for my partner today!

Nice build on one of the (rightly) most sought after models in all of Rivendell. This bike with lights and fenders and comfy seat can do double duty as bike that can take you just about anywhere and as your second car (but way less expensive and waaay more fun.) I don't think the Clem Ls are due again for some time?

Hi

The business model for Rivendell is to focus on one frame group at a time.  So it takes a couple of months to work through a container or so of frames.  They are having the Sam Hillborne frame now so that is going to generate the excitement for their work capacity.  It could easily be next year before the Clem Smith Junior (H) and (L).  

The variety of bicycle types and models is cool but a person who sees a bike like my Clem Smith Jr. might have to wait a long time to find one for themselves.  I wanted a Joe Appaloosa months ago and have not been able to get one.

That is why the secondary market is important.  When we pass our bikes around among Rivendellers we make it possible to have or try more than one Bicycle.

This bike is really beautiful in person.  Grant says it will last a lifetime and it is less than a year old now.

There's no finer Joe Appaloosa anywhere, folks on the hunt should get this before Roberta comes to her senses and holds it tight.
Wishing I could buy it for the parts alone. Darn 650b!

Apologies for steering things off topic but Kai has me interested in seeing Roberta's mustard J'Appaloosa. Can anyone point me to pictures?

I’ll pm you.  One other person inquired. If I don’t sell it quickly I’ll create a thread.
