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 we

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

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 the

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,

I agree that bike is splendid looking. I also believe the Cheviot name and head badge is the best non Middle Earth based one. That said I agree with Grant that it might be different enough from the original Cheviot to earn its own moniker. Most importantly I expect it will be very well recei

It lives, it's in the new newsletter and here's the pic. I have the somewhat dubious distinction (I think) of being the first "outsider" to know about this project when Grant and Will mentioned it to me at RBW last year. So now I'll start the thread! It's fancy and swoopy and I dig it. I also d
