With appropriate wheels, it's either perfect for commuting and just normal riding, or it's as good a mountain bike as you can get for any price. This one comes with fat knobbies that aren't ultra knobby, and for trail riding there's not a reason in the world to switch them. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCLEMS cost less than our fully lugged models only because they come as complete bikes straight from Taiwan and the two head tube joints are tig-welded instead of lugged. Tigging cuts the construction time for each frame down by a lot so the price gets lower. They'd cost even less if we ditched the head tube ring, seat lug, and fork crown, but we can't limbo that low  :).  Clems are gorgeous bikes, with plenty of beautiful details you won't find on any other tig-welded bikes at any price, including:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e• a gorgeous investment-cast fork crown, our own design\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e• investment-case \"napkin-ring\" head tube reinforcement rings, with cream-painted RBW and ovals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e• an investment cast seat lug with the smartest, strongest binder bolt ears on any seat lug.

If you want to try that, use the following formula to figure out if you can achieve your saddle height on a bigger frame:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMINIMUM SADDLE HEIGHT per FRAME SIZE = Seat tube length + 13cm.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasured from center of crank to top of saddle. It's simple, it works like this: Measure your PBH (pubic bone height) and subtract 11cm. That's a good saddle height for you. Subtract 13cm, and that's your maximum Clem frame size. It assumes a saddle without springs, a fairly normal saddle. Example: If your PBH is 85cm, your saddle height is probably 74cm, and 74-minus-13 is 61, so you could easily ride a 61. But since we dont make that size. You can ride a 59cm. OR even, easily, a 55.5cm. In general it feels great to ride the biggest frame you can fit, but CLEMs have plenty of handlebar-height adjustability, so a 55.5cm will feel great, too. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you'd like a build, we can do that.
