Re: [RBW] Fancy Cheviot!

[JAS]

I'm ready with my money, too!  This new Cheviot is a beauty with that 
swoopy tube.  Though my favorite color is blue, I would be very happy with 
the silver because I could dress her up with a bright blue bag and tape, 
maybe some blue "bling" like pedals, hubs and bolts.  I'm going with light 
weight fancy wheels, maybe tubeless since that's what all the cool 
#RivSisters seem to be doing and I love a group effort.  I'm looking 
forward to hearing an "order now" date!

More power to the M.O.M.s and RivSisters!

Re: [RBW] Fancy Cheviot!

[James Davis]

I second that sentiment on the practicality of mixtes for all folks. Mixtes
are just pure magic. There was about a year after getting my Clem-L where I
just refused to throw my leg over a top tube. It was all smooth Clem-L
riding that I would do. M.O.M. Is also a delightfully confusing acronym for
us men on mixtes.

It depends on size. The pic you have is a smaller Glorius/Wilbury. The 
larger ones have more pronounced swoops.

Re: [RBW] Fancy Cheviot!

[Joe Bernard]

Here's the words from the newsletter, which I should have included in the 
original post:

Here's one of those sample frames. It's an updated version of the Cheviot, 
although Grant is considering having a new name and new decals for it.

The forks came without v-brake studs (I'm not calling them canti-posts 
anymore), so forgive the mis-matched brakes. This 55cm frame rides like a 
dream... it feels bigger in a good way compared to the old 55cm, which I 
attribute to the 700c wheels, slightly slacker headtube angle and longer top 
tube. I think it's mostly the wheels. The v-brakes are the big change, but 
there's other small things that most people might not notice. We'll have more 
details later.

Re: [RBW] Fancy Cheviot!

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

Does anyone have a guess as to how long a project like the Fancy Cheviot takes 
to bring to production? I feel like we’ve been waiting forever already. I 
pushed pretty hard to know the ETA because I didn’t want to wait a year and was 
considering a custom that would arrive sooner. Last I heard these bikes would 
have been arriving late July, but that doesn’t seem like a workable timeline 
now. I’m not going to push anymore; Rivendell doesn’t seem to be able to hurry 
production along and I’m sure it stresses them out to have to answer pressing 
questions about TIME from me. It’s encouraging that we are looking at the 
prototype, but there are changes Rivendell plans to make to this bike - how far 
back does that push the ETA? Do they have to order new prototypes again after 
making changes? 

Maybe we’ll all be pleasantly surprised and the wait won’t be so long. I’m 
thinking Christmas but really hoping for late summer. I haven’t wanted 
something so acutely in a long time. It’s an exquisite pain I’m having over 
this Fancy Cheviot. I’m setting up my Clem with some really nice new parts that 
will make it easier to ride while I wait. One of the nice things I added was 
dyno, which I would never have gotten had this Cheviot not been delayed.

I see a name thread coming! I vote Elliottdale, a hardy Tasmanian sheep breed. 
Name can also be read Elliott Dale, which sounds as delightfully bonkers as

Re: [RBW] Fancy Cheviot!

[Leah Peterson]

I forgot to say that I will really miss the Cheviot name and decals if they 
rename the bike. If it gets a new name please no Wolbis. Or Slugstone. I dread 
telling newcomers, “Let me tell you about my Wolbis.” It will sound terribly 
inappropriate.

Looking at the bike and what a class act it is, it just has to be named 
accordingly. It could be a Galadriel! Arwen! Something...
