New Clem Small Sizes

[Kim Suico]

Is there anyone here successfully secured a small Clem (46-52) frame today from the presale? I don't know if those sizes for both new colors got sold out quickly. 

Thank you!

@Kim,

It appears that both the 45cm and 52cm frame sets in dark orange and forest green are both SOLD OUT from just visiting the RBW website.

I am thinking they either didn't get any frame stock in those sizes or they got a comically low amount because those are the only sizes that sold out and it was pretty much immediately. But the 52 is a popular size so I am shocked they didn't get more stock of that.

They have them in completes which is a pretty good deal. I imagine they sell better than the framesets.

Well Rivendell pushes the completes and orders more of them because that is what they want people to do. For completes they don't even open the boxes unless you request it so the work load on them is way less. They are great values if you want what they have on it but the last complete I got I swapped almost everything so the end value to me wasn't great. I understand it from a business perspective and am not bothered by what they are doing.

I have been wanting to change sizes on my 2019 Clem L 45cm that I built up from a frame. I am 5’6” with an 81cm pbh and the Clem feels just a little cramped. I just bought a green 50cm Platy complete, and intend swapping my compatible nicer parts from the Clem with those on the Platy then selling the Clem as a complete. Mine is the bronze green. I mostly use the Clem as a shopping bike and occasional commuter, so the lighter duty Platy will be fine for that.

Update:

Got a reply from them about my concern.

As of now the new size 46 and 52 in both new colors will only be sold on clem completes. ☹️

Thanks everyone! Have a great day and ride safe! 🫡
