Hi Garth, I bought one of the proto long bikes late in that program. Seems to me like it was "an experiment, a step in the right direction, a successive approximation" (says so on the decal) that led to the Cheviot, the first production long bike. Mine has the horse head badge that will show up on some production bike; long chainstays that are currently in production; and tentacular extrastays that are probably forever limited to Mr. Nobilette's handiwork. I squeezed 50's under its fenders and love the cush, but's too tight for gravel, let alone sticks. I have a Sam, and a long bike, and for me, a Cheviot that fits 2" tires under fenders would be a really nice bike.
