Hi All,

For my first wedding anniversary, I had a great plan to get my wife a Clem L in grilver built to match my Clem H (wooden fenders, sackville bags, etc etc), which Pudge built.

I bought a 52cm for her and had 718 Cycling in Brooklyn build it up. It is absolutely gorgeous, but I think she’s just too small for the 52cm despite having a PBH of 75cm — she is after all 5’1”.

So if any of you have a Clem L 45cm frame laying around I’d love to have a convo about taking it off your hands. We are color agnostic.

Here’s a pic of the masterpiece we built which is just too big.

I guess the plan currently is to see if I can buy a smaller frame from you guys then I could just rebuild the bike on that frame and keep the same parts, then figure out what to do with that 52cm frame. That’s a different discussion.

Whatever - currently looking to buy a 45cm Clem L.

All the best and thank you for reading

Kyle,

If you’re at all interested in a 45CM Clem H in Grilver, let me know. I may be interested in a trade. I purchased the bike brand new and complete a few months ago, and it’s running a tad small for me.

Hi Justin

Appreciate the response. I’m afraid the H, even at 45cm is too high for her. The step thru is what allows her to fit into the bikes this size.

Thanks anyways.

All the best

Kyle

No problem Kyle— best of luck. I know the 45 Clem L’s are a bit harder to find. You may be interested in the Velo Orange Polyvalent frameset if you have trouble finding the Clem 45 L: https://velo-orange.com/products/polyvalent-mk5-1

I may still be interested in purchasing your 52 Clem L frame once everything else is sorted on your end. Keep me posted!

You would need a wheelset too. The Clem 45 is 26”, not 650b

Hi guys -- 

Closing this post. Bought a Public bike as a suitable alternative for my wife's 2nd bike, and saved some sheckels for my roadini/roadeo search.

All the best and thank you all for the consideration.
