Clem is mine!

Hello, all!

After a few years lurking here and searching for a Riv, I have finally got my hands on a lime olive Clem L. I originally wanted a Platypus but, alas, the smallest frame is too large but I am thrilled with Clem.

I had Jimmy of Fabrica de Rosas build up my bike and am so happy with how it turned out. At just about 5'1", I have never had a bike fit me until now and I can say that riding a bike that fits is an absolute pleasure!!

Gina,

That is awesome! I love my Clem for all kinds of riding but most of my miles are on asphalt. I'll be looking forward to hearing how this bike compares to others you've ridden. To me the Clem has a unique ride quality that no other bike offers although I've not ridden many other Rivendell models.

Another RivSister!  Welcome to you and your beautiful new Clem!  I have a Clem also (dark green) and love the ride.  Miles of smiles to you!

Beautiful bike. Enjoy!

You’ll have to give us an update when you get to ride it.

What a great post, Gina! Didn’t Riv just nail the lime color on that Clem? It is gorgeous. Also, I so wish the Platy came one size smaller but I am so happy that you found a Clem to fit you. I have both models and they are wonderful bikes. The more you ride it, the more it feels like an extension of your body. And it is so comfortable that it will ruin any other bike you might ride. You will only want to ride your Clem, from now on! 

It is really fun to customize a Clem. I like all the spice you added to yours. I have splashes of color on my blue Clem and I think it is so fun. Clems are unassuming and easygoing characters; you can do whatever you like to them and the look will be right.

Welcome to the club and I hope you’ll post here often!

I was unsure about this color when I ordered my Sam, but its fantastic. It gets looks from the lycra crowd and the commuter crowd alike. I've had many nice bikes of different aesthetics over the years and this is the only one that has literally prompted a child to stop, stare and go "woaaa nice bike!" Honestly, that was the coolest compliment I've ever gotten about pretty much anything lol.
