Ugh, I know that Melanie and Mark make excellent points. Points I weighed when I was trying to decide custom mixte vs. production mixte. I knew that Riv would steer me toward production, and they did, and it seemed like I could get enough of what I wanted with a Cheviot. But the more I think about it, I wonder if I should just pay the extra money and get in Nobilette’s line.
I also wonder if I’m making up problems I don’t have. I *can* pedal a Rivendell just fine; it’s just that a custom could be mo’ better. Is that worth the extra money? I do have kids to put through college, you know... How light is Roadeo tubing? If, and it’s a big if, I were to make a mixte out of it, I wonder if it would be strong enough... But the other really big factor here is if the Cheviots are being extensively delayed. I was hoping to have one in April (that was the rumored drop date) but then Rivendell said June or July. Then they said Cheviots would ship in July so not until mid to late August. And that was BEFORE the COVID crisis. If the delay is worse than August, maybe I should try to get a flyweight mixte via the custom route. Hopefully THAT line is not so long...
