The Sequoia should be OK but for one thing, the wheels. a 28 spoke front wheel is not the best plan for a Clyde. You could look into other bikes with a better suited wheel set or just get the sequoia with the understanding that the wheels are essentially disposable. A tried and true wheel set is a 32 spoke Shimano Ultegra hub with Mavic Open Pro rims, or Velocity Deep V rims and double butted spokes. If you're more concerned with durability than you are with weight you could go with a 36 spoke count (I'd recommend going this route).
