Nice concept, Richard. My Riv Road Standard is probably somewhere between a San Marcos and a Roadeo. I've +1 stretched it into a country bike, which the 650b conversion made possible. I'm now +2 stretching it into a road touring bike with panniers. I feel I must see if the Riv can handle a touring load before I start searching for a dedicated touring bike.
RJM: the Betty Foy is a Sam mixte, according to Riv. Where does that put the Cheviot? Is it more roadie or more off-roadie than the Betty/Sam?
