I like orange and blue, even if it reminds me of Clemson U. It also reminds me of the Denver Broncos, which makes me think of Peyton Manning, and that makes me happy, so I guess the colour combo makes me happy. That said, I'm pleased to discover that I didn't experience buyer's remorse after seeing the bike like I thought I might. I do love the Cheviot's headbadge. I long for a nicer headbadge on the Betty Foy, but most days I don't even think about it. I really only think about it when I see the Hunq headbadge, and now, the Cheviot.
The longer chainstays - would that have an appreciable difference on the ride quality?
