FS Grilver 52 Clem H

[Alex K]

Just posted this on Craigslist.  I grabbed it off of CL for $1500 last week hoping it would fit my buddy who's been looking for the perfect bike for a while.  I thought this was it, but it was a little too big.  Hoping to find a good home for her.  Not in a hurry to sell, hoping somebody is really pumped to find a Clem and will appreciate this bike as much as I do my Clem H.    I bought it with no seat/pedals.  Added a Brooks Ti with Selle cutouts that I paid $250 for and some new-ish MKS pedals.  I have Soma Cazadero tires to throw in.  Asking $1800 (with seat extra tires and pedals)

email me at acksf78 at gmail for pictures.  Hoping for local sale in the SF Bay Area.  Will consider shipping if you've really been looking for one of these for a while.  Not sure how much that costs, but assuming it's in the $200 range.  Not in a hurry to sell or make any money off this thing, just hoping it finds a good home.

Thanks.

I'm building up a Clem now and am wondering what your stem/bar set up is on this one. Looks like a quill to threadless adapter?

Looks like a vintage Suntour MTB quill stem.

I do like the two bolt design of that stem especially with wide bars that allow a good bit of torque from pulling. I had to really tighten the single bolt stem on my first Clem with the Bosco bars. I would have jumped on an Atlantis in a heartbeat had one been available recently when I bought the Clem H frameset. Although, the price of the Clem is nice and it seems close to the Atlantis geometry, just without some of the lugs. What don't you like about the other Rivendell models?

The Atlantis is a close second to the Clem, but I like the Clem's clean lines. I'm not much of a road cyclist anymore, and I haven't really warmed up to the step-through designs, so that leaves the Clem H as the top contender. Now if only it came with disc brakes... (ducking for cover!)

FIRST OFF:  The Clem H that I put up on CL and here has been SOLD.

I have to agree with you C Cote.  The Clem H that I am keeping for myself (set up as a 1X11) is a real feat of bicycle design.  Riding it around in the Marin Headlands has been nothing short of miraculous.  I was lucky enough to find a very affordable and almost brand new 56 Atlantis 650b for sale on this group and I truly love riding it on road rides with a little gravel mixed in.  But Clem H is the one!  Especially in that classic Grilver.  And I love my Clem L (Pass and Stow 5-rail and Wald 157 massive basket), and I know that this is a Rivendell group, but since you brought up step-throughs, that Velo Orange Polyvalent Low has been on my radar recently.  If I was looking for a Clem L alternative at the same price point ($800ish) I'd be taking a serious look at that.  

Happy riding all.

Alex,

Could you share a photo and build specs of your 1x11 Clem?
