[RBW] Chevoit or Clem jr L
Hey, Tom! What are you saying about our "big boned" Clementines? Huh? Huh? Grin.

[RBW] Chevoit or Clem jr L
I like the looks of both. But if the Clem is more in your price range, search blue lug clem” in Google and tap images. Blue Lug does fantastic photo work advertising their bikes in my opinion. And they have great component and accessory ideas. There are some beautiful builds there, including Clem-Ls that look pretty, well, svelte! Not all Clem’s have to have to have chunky tires, MTB bars... Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Chevoit or Clem jr L
counterpoint: I grew to appreciate the yeoman like work a day style of the tig welded Clementine. Mine had just enough flourish, with the seat lug and the beautiful fork with the white paint on black to make it lovely. And the name and decals, just right. Bigger tires, as someone pointed out. And that swing low, much more usable in terms of stepping through the frame. With the Cheviot essentially what you're getting is a lower, sloped top tube. With the Clementine, no problem stepping through that swoop de doop. I would vote it as my favorite Rivendell. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Chevoit or Clem jr L
Cheviot is one of the handsomest most versitile bikes ever made in the history of the world. In my humble opinion.

Re: [RBW] Chevoit or Clem jr L
One other difference is the Clem has the bolt holes on the fork crown, which is useful for bracing a front rack (or running a notionally rear rack on the front. That might also mean the front fork on the Clem is a little beefier than the Cheviot's. --Ed C. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Oh, i definitely prefer the lugs and I think my wife does as well. And that dark green sage color is very eye-catching. I wonder about the possibility of finding a used chev or betty?

When in doubt, get the one with the lugs (Cheviot). I have a Clementine and a Betty (and an MMM for that matter). TIG just cannot compare with the beauty of lugs.

Re: [RBW] Chevoit or Clem jr L
It is a 59cm and silver, so might be too big or the wrong color, but it seems Chris at his new shop (formerly A1 Cyclery) has one in stock, and on sale, at least a bit. https://thepsychicderailleur.com/product/rivendell-clem-smith-jr-l/ No affiliation except that I wanted to see A1 before it closed and moved!

Excellent point about availability. I'm sure she would be happy with either. I am personally leaning more towards the cheviot. But I'll need to talk to her and see what she would really like.

Re: [RBW] Chevoit or Clem jr L
I had a Clementine and helped a friend purchase a Cheviot. I would say for around town, and ease of on off-- that is, actually using the step-through-ability -- the Clementine wins. If the idea is more of a sport recreational ride, the Cheviot might be better suited. If the actual step-throughness doesn't matter, either bike is of course pretty fantastic. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Chevoit or Clem jr L
L is stouter, uses cantis or v-brakes, lower standover. Cheviot is more of a road bike with a taller "top"-tube. I've owned both and I'd say pick your color, brakes, joining method (TIG vs. lugs) and standover..they're both great. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
