FS: 59cm Clem H "Hillibike" with Jones, Thomson, Shimano XT, etc.

[Jeremy Till]

I've got some exciting adventures on the horizon that would be best suited to having a slightly different bike in my stable, so I've decided to part ways (amicably) with my first-gen (2016) 59cm Clem Smith Jr, in the no-longer-available "H-type." This has been a great bike that I've really enjoyed riding, but I don't do it enough and I'm excited to pass it on to someone who will enjoy it.  

Not to toot my own horn, but I was riding hillibikes before they were cool, or at least before Grant had thought up the term. When I bought this in 2016, I was mountain biking a lot and built this up from the start as a rim brake mountain bike, using things like wide, tubeless compatible rims, strong V-brakes, and trigger shifters. When VO brought out their 31.8mm quill stem in 2017 it got 710mm Jones Loop bars, which really tied the whole thing together, and that has been the basic setup with relatively minor modifications since then. 

Overall it's in good shape, never been crashed (that I can remember), and I've proactively replaced consumable parts before they've worn out. There's a couple of places where the green paint has chipped exposing the white primer below. Pictures are here. The build: 

Frame/fork: 59cm Clem H, Green. Geometry here

Headset: FSA Duron

Wheels: Prototype Rivendell "Silver" hubs, laced to Velocity Cliffhangers (700c/29") with 36 double butted spokes each. Currently running ~1 year old Specialized Fast Trak 2.2" tires with tubes. Rims are tubeless compatible, but the rim tape is the original from when I built it up in 2016 so it could probably use a refresh if you are going to try to run them tubeless. 

Handlebars: Jones 710mm Loop H-Bar, butted aluminum, Jones Kraton grips 

Stem: Velo-Orange Removable Faceplate Quill Stem, 90mm

Seatpost: Thomson Elite (zero setback)

Saddle: Will come with a WTB Pure (pictured with WTB Deva), or will sell sans saddle

Brake Levers: Shimano Deore "touring" (BL-T611)

Brakes: Shimano XT v-brakes

Shifter: Shimano Sora 9spd Rapidfire w/ two-way release

Rear Derailleur: Shimano XT 9spd "Shadow" (RD-M772)

(No front shifter or derailleur)

Cranks: CODA-Branded Sugino 94/58mm BCD, 175mm, square taper w/ 36-22 Dimension 9spd alloy chainrings

Bottom Bracket: sealed cartridge unit, 107mm, I think it's a Tange?

Pedals: Shimano Saint platform pedals

Cassette: Shimano XT 9spd, 11-34

Chain: SRAM PC 991

Sale does not include the King Iris bottle cages pictured. 

Craigslist price is $1,600, happy to sell to a list member for $1,400. I'm in Sacramento, CA and would prefer a local sale, but if you're elsewhere and are willing to pay for boxing and shipping, let me know.

Dang what a great deal, cheers fellow Sacramentan. 

(If you part it out I am interested in the stem-Liz)

Someone should grab this. A great deal with a solid setup. Good luck Jeremy. If I had the space I'd be all over it.
