What Grant calls "rough around the edges... in a way that adds to its humility" (paraphrasing) is what my Italian family members call "malfatti." Taken literally, it means roughly-hewn, but in practice it's a loving term bestowed on something made by hand (wine, furniture, even tonight's dinner) that has, maybe, some rough edges but is in an overall sense delicious and attractive.
If the Cheviot has those qualities, then all the better. I think it's a beautiful bike. - Andrew, Berkeley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
