This may not make it up because I am a new member and my first posting from over a week ago hasn't shown up. I just want to share with everyone that I got my Cheviot 2 days ago and I love it.. Went on a long ride yesterday (with my husband riding his "new" Space Horse thanks to this group) and had so much fun. Should've bought a good bike years ago.
It is beautiful. Only problem is I refused to leave it outside and my husband is not really pleased with it in the motor home. But my son understood completely. He bought a used Cross Check last week and has it in the house because he just loves looking at it (and he has several Rivs out in the garage so it shouldn't be quite as special an experience for him). I just don't have any good bicycle knowledge, although I've really been studying up and know 100 times more than I did 4 months ago. So it was a little scary for me buying this bike, but I couldn't shake the way the Rivendell philosophy spoke to me and I daughter-in-law graciously let me ride her too-big-for-me Glorius enough that it helped. I had to really rely on Keven. He patiently answered all my questions, but really I had to just rely on him and I would say the bike is spot-on for me. Did I mention it is beautiful, - in a very rugged, sporty way. I agonized over orange because I loved my daughter-in-law's blue bikes, but the orange with the blue highlights is just perfect. As I said, I don't really know bikes but it was like a feast just looking at the beautiful bikes in their shop Monday. The Clems and Clementines are there with beautiful paint jobs. The curves on the Clementine are so nice. Makes me want to buy one even though that would be the most ridiculous thing I could do. It is a sickness. We'll be dropping by again to pick up a few things - if there is a specific photo someone would like, I'm sure they wouldn't mind if we took it.
