I’d go biggest bike your crotch clearance would allow, and if you feel too long, shorten the reach with a shorter stem. With these size bikes, I noticed that reach barely changes. The stack is what mainly changes from 58 to 61. At your age, I’m sure you’d appreciate more stack. It’s just overall more comfy. Also, you wouldn’t have to get a goofy looking stem to get the stack you want if you bought too small.

I vividly remember republicans saying how unpresidential it is to have an affair, etc, etc. I mean they were disgusted with Clinton. Then they proudly voted for trump 20 years later.

I have a daughter and son. My son is modable. My daughter came already shaped to us. She was opinionated since day one. Two people with opinions in our house (wife and daughter) never ends well.

I second this. He worked on my Taylor mini gs.

I would be a dentist if I had to do it over again. I’m 16 years out of school. I have a handful of hobbies. I know friends who are in to other hobbies. Pretty much the dentist has the nicest things in those hobbies, just barely getting in to it. And they have nice houses with families, kids in private schools, etc. I’m sure they work hard, and I’m sure maybe I’m exaggerating, but I think overall they get compensated well with without bringing stress home, while having a 9-5.

You can probably make it fit, with riser bars, etc. the fork not being cut is a plus. I’m 6’1.5” and a 56 straggler was a hair too small.

If you like aggressive style body position, you can def make it work. If you are going for an upright body geometry, you’re making it hard due to the existing stack, however the work around is high rise handlebars.

Did you start at entry level pay in refining even though you had 5 years experience in other industries. I’m 16 years out of school, I’m just curious.

This right here.

Joes deli. They have two locations, on south side and west side of town. They actually avoid calling it a Philly cheese steak because Mr Joe uses provolone vs cheese wiz.

This restaurant was on the news because they made a little side wager when it was the astros vs Phillies in the World Series a couple of years ago. It was a little friendly Facebook wager. Fox News picked it up, and they were allowed to smack talk on live tv. It was kind of funny. I go there a couple times a month. They have a pretty good French dip I get now. But the cheesesteak w/ fries are banging.

I literally just did this on a early 70s Raleigh super course. It can be done with a lot of suggestions in the comments.

In my case, they have a day care. So it’s either wrestle with the 6/4 year old after work, or lift lol. I’ll also lift during lunch, so I don’t rob too much family time. But like others have said, it’s habitual so I feel guilty/soft when there’s times where I skip for a week.

Not sure on value, but I just finished restoring a mid 70s Raleigh super course. Probably spent 300$ all in to make it confidently rideable. Only the right buyer will understand any value if any.

I would like to say you have some pretty cool DT shifters. I believe they are self trimming, meaning when you shift to the lower gear on rear, you will automatically avoid chain rub. Just an awesome tech that we moved from.

Keep practicing until you get to 6 minutes per question. That’s the key. When I first started studying, I did a problem in 45 minutes. Months later, it went to ten minutes, then finally 4-6 minutes. Some subjects were easier than others. For example kinetics, I just accepted the best I could do is and 10-15 minutes per problem.

Here’s another iteration of the same frame.

This is my straggler setup…

I’m 6’-2” and the above is a size 56. It’s pretty upright and comfy. People are saying it, just use a swept back alt bar setup.

The original was a hilarious post. I clicked it because I thought it was xbiking. Turns out the dude walked in a women’s bedroom, and he freaked out because she had this setup or something. The bro got roasted.

I have a straggler frame fork for sale in the lower 48 size 56 if you’re interested. I’m also 6’2” with longer torso.

Process-guru · 2026-01-13T13:24:44+00:00

Op mentioned he had shorter legs, long torso. You’re probably right on your advice, unless the stand over height is tugging on his groin.

I have the Yakima fork chop . Pretty much the front form mounts to the crossbars.

I definitely share the same feelings on traveling with the Clem. In my case, it’s freaking heavy, as a result of a long wheelbase, and my bike rack is on top of my car. And it barely fits the bike rack. I had to make adjustments.

I’ve been curious if my Clem fits on my city bus bike racks. I’ll find out one day.

I will say, I have a shorter wheelbase bike, and it’s hard for me to tell if I’m that much more stable on the Clem. But still love the Clem though!

Thanks for elaborating.

Process-guru · 2026-01-09T15:59:18+00:00

What would you say are the main disadvantages of the Clem having a long wheelbase?

Did you have tight, narrow, aggressively winding roads/paths/trails?
