We study the low-energy properties of Heisenberg antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 and spin-1 systems on various clusters made up of triangles. Some of the clusters have a geometry similar to representative pieces of the Kagome lattice, while others have the geometry of a sawtooth chain. While the ground state always has the lowest possible spin (0 or 1/2), the nature of the low-energy excitations depends on the geometry and the site spin. For the Kagome clusters with spin-1 sites, the lowest excitations are gapped, with singlet and triplet excitations having similar gaps. This is in contrast to Kagome clusters with spin-1/2 sites where there are several low-energy singlet excitations (possibly gapless in the thermodynamic limit), while triplet excitations have a gap. For the sawtooth chain with spin-1 sites, the lowest excitations are triplets with a gap; the gap to singlet excitations is about twice the triplet gap.
