Clem framesets go live on Thursday at 12pm Pacific time. There are four sizes - 45, 52, 59, and 64cm and two colors, Lime Olive and RBW Blue. Clems can be built into lots of different types of bikes by tire selection and accessories. With racks, fenders, and smooth tires they make great commuters and non-competitive all-road bikes. With knobbies they make a fantastic trail bikes - Grant rides one of his two Clems in Shell Ridge at least three times a week, sometimes four. Changes for this batch: The 45cm frames now take 650b wheels There are triple mount bottle bosses on the step thru tubes. Important: We have complete, assembled-in-Taiwan Clems coming in late September that cost $2000,...

Our friend John is going to install the fenders (they're Honjos and we charge an exorbitant fee to install those as a deterrent) and then Mark will finish it up with the lighting and racks. I like the look of it bare so I'm posting a gallery now and we'll have a follow up with the complete set...
