Hey, Tom! What are you saying about our "big boned" Clementines? Huh? Huh? Grin.
With abandon,

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 Cle
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. An
Cheviot is one of the handsomest most versitile bikes ever made in the
history of the world. In my humble opinion.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have ridden both models and I say you can’t go wrong. But the Clem L is out
of stock pretty much everywhere, and a new batch isn’t arriving until late
July. But you can have a Cheviot now!

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-through
I vote Clem for the brakes and clearance.

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.

My wife has finally shown interest in a nice frame that's more comfortable than
her road bike and surly LHT. I recommended the Clem and Chevoit and she really
likes the idea of the step-thru frames.
Hoping to get more insight into the two and what the major difference would be.
Thanks!
