This post made me really hopeful about my upcoming Cheviot. It’s going to be such a long and difficult wait. I really hope the batch is still happening late summer. Did you all see the Hillibike shipment will now wait to ship with Roadinis? We can only take guesses as to whether or not this will push back the Cheviots, which were to ship mid-July. And the Gallop bike after that? I don’t know. What did it mean in the newsletter when Grant wondered aloud if he (they) ought to order fall bikes? Maybe we need yet another thread to toss around ideas about this...
I know the new 55 Cheviot will have a 700c wheel, which Grant really believes will improve the ride quality a ton. I know nothing of such things. If you do, I’d love to read about it here.
