Not the Anniversary Mixte; anyone holding out hope for that save your pennies
and be ready to get a fancy Cheviot this Spring.
Speculate all you wish; but trying to get inside Grant’s mind for potential
future models better be as close to him as Mary.

I see the post, and Will referenced it in the email. So now with absolutely no
knowledge whatsoever we can speculate what it will be, with a heavy dose of
what we think would be good! Let the games...BEGIN.

Friends, did you see the newsletter today? It says there’s a bike coming a year
out “a wild bike” that they’re keeping quiet for now. I wanted to be sure I got
that right, and when I went to double check, the post has been taken down.
Huh...

HARD. I’m going to clean up my act now and be happy with my

me a sympathy Glorius (but *flattered*).
I’m coping over here.

Masmojo, I am so sorry to learn of that theft! I built 51cm red Rosco for my
teenage son. If he grows the few more inches he hopes to grow, I will offer
the bike for sale to you first! (Can’t be many of these around) I’m going to
buy my son a second lock based on your sad experience.

masmojo, agree. For my riding I'm also in the short wheelbase camp, though
I do allow myself to love my Clem H, which has chainstays that can double
as shrimp boat outriggers in a pinch.
Leah, I would have rounded up a posse to seek out and help buy that red &

I'd love an old short wheel base model. Glorious or Wilbury. Size 53 please.

Tom, that bike is the inspiration for my entire idea. When I saw this bike it
was a few years ago and I just thought it was the classiest thing on two
wheels. I don’t want the old model because it will feel too short to me now
that I’ve gotten used to Rivendell’s long wheelbase bikes. Plus, it’s
Leah, have you seen this Porsche Red and Cream Glorius Maybe you need to
hunt one of them up!

I do like Tom’s resurrection idea. A Longruis/Longbury would be cool. I have
always loved how the extra stays on the early Riv mixtes curved into the seat
stays. It made for really nice lines no matter the frame size.

Copper fenders (actually just paint, not real copper) from Handsome bikes.

Ok, that is exactly the look I’m going for in my next bike. WOW. Copper

no. I definitely want sparkles. But yes, that bike would stand out at any rack.
Why wouldn’t security let you bring it upstairs? What is not sec
Well here's what the Rosco looked like:

The copper colored fenders & clay tires likely pumped the thief bait factor up
to around 12 on a scale of 10. But it's a good indicator of what a fancy Mixte
in red would look like, just add imaginary diagonal t

They assured me it was safe, because they had security cameras. So, as it was

My word, Mas! How did they get it?!? Horrid, and a reason Grant gave for not
wanting to choose red for the Anniversary Mixte. But I still want red. They’ll
have to knock me off my bike if they want to take it.

Yes, the color of the Red 52 Rosco Bubbe would be swell! A color so deep Leah
could get lost in it. Unfortunately it's so awesome it's also major thief bait;
which is why I no longer have mine 😥

Me thinks the Glorius and Wilbury were definitely fancier versions, and
ancestors of, the Cheviot. See this thread:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rbw-owners-bunch/MGE0c-B1LLg/wxfplnDuDmQJ
Maybe a resurrection is in the making, but with 5ft chainstays?!

Yes, looking forward to a new Riv is always exciting.
I’m currently saving up for a Chev for the Mrs. and by time I have enough to
buy, it’ll probably be spring/early-summer. I hope the “fancy“ Chev will be
out by then. If not, I’d still be happy to buy the ”regular” version.

I admit I knew about it quite a while ago. I kept it a secret and told no one
because I didn’t think it was public. But somewhere along the line Grant said
something on the Blahg or the Blug or the email update, so I don’t consider it
a secret now.
The good news is we have a bike to look forwar
"Fancy Cheviot"
That's what Grant called it when he brought it up to me. I believe it's since
landed in a Blahg, or maybe I just said it to Leah and she said it to 5 people
and here we are!

Let’s not open old wounds and bring up the lamentable Anniversary Mixte. 😂 Man,
I took that one hard. I decided if I can’t have that AM, I’d like the newer
version of Cheviot and I’ll just get it painted

Fancy Cheviot was mentioned to me when I asked about Leah's late, lamented,
apparently never to be Anniversary Mixte at RBW. I don't know any more about it
than "fancy", but it's definitely NOT the 25th swoopy-parallel-tubes step-thru

Based on a couple vague blahg references there's been fun speculation about
the "25th/26th Anniversary" frame but no one really knows. Does seem like
the Clem L < Cheviot < ___*?*___ lineup would be a little rich with
step-thru frames, but as one of the many MOMs (Men on Mixtes) I can get
