Howdy Everyone,
Recently got a Joe that fits me much better than the clem that was just a smidge too big for me. As a result (and being told by my partner that there is only room for 3 bikes in our apartment), I have to post the Clem for sale. I have some other bits as well (bosco bars, 26.0 stem, 0 offset seatpost), if interested. Let me know if you have any questions!
Asking price: $600 (local sale for preferred, but I have a box to ship in case)
Items of Note:
- I am the original owner
- Comes with Frame, Fork, Headset (bearings still super smooth), Seatpost (scratched up, but is a 26.8), brand new 110 Shimano BB
- No dents or dings
- Plenty of paint chips, the most notable is D/S BB when my derailleur overshifted during a climb. All have been sealed with clear nail polish and most areas are photographed
- Just frame-saved the bike with boeshield
- Cable guide and seat cluster nut/bolt is included
- Trying to figure out if I can modify my framebag for the Joe, otherwise I would be including that for sale as an additional $120
Quirks:
- Seatpost lug is just a teensy bit oversized, so depending where the seatpost is clamped, you may experience some slippage. Current options are either use a 27.0 seatpost or order a seatpost from riv and have the knurl the area where it will clamp (what I ended up doing when I owned it and experienced no slippage after the modification). Not ideal, I know...
- This is the 2017 run (2nd gen I believe), so the bike is a bit taller than the last run of the frames.
The Pitch:
The Clem is a great all-rounder, and lives up to the phrase on the downtube "A tough bike to love." It served as my daily commuter, single track shredder, MTB race bike, dirt tourer and general errand bike; It accomplished all of those tasks with ease. However, the most enjoyable way I had it setup was as a rigid MTB, no racks, fenders, etc. with some plush 2.25 tires and the handlebars setup a little more aggressively.
