FWIW, I tried a 2-fish, velcro, strap-on cage on the down tube of my
'99 Joe Starck custom gofast, for which I had foolishly told Grant to
limit cage braze ons to the dt. (Grant: you were right, both for the
st braze ons and for the sub-73* seat tube angles. But don't tell
anyone I acknowledged this.)
Moving on: it works, after a fashion, but it also swivels at the
slightest touch. I found that it would swivel far enough from straight
line-ahead that my eagerly pumping legs would brush it, much to my
annoyance, as I sturdily rode along.
Obviously not an issue for a back-of-the-seat-tube mount, like on my
Moulton.
As alternative, I tried various bar-mount bottle cage attachment
gizmos. They work well -- except that, with Riv geometry, the added
weight of a 28 oz bottle makes the front wheel flop more than I can
comfortably tolerate.
I found a better solution to carrying water was to attach a Carradice
-- can't remember the name; it's the smallest one -- to the saddle,
and put a quart bottle inside. Even better, I got D Banzer to make me
a nice custom seat pack, that attaches elegantly to the rails of my
Flite, that has a pocket for a 28oz bottle. Wala.

imo the biggest limiting factor to the cheviot's tour worthiness

Would the Two Fish strap on water bottle cage help here? My AM
Moulton has but one water bottle cage, on the front of the seat
tube, and I have one of these two fish units on the back of the
seat tube as well.
