 In the blahg from early November (the first number 30) is a drawing named 
"charlie_for_blahg_grande.jpg"

It has a swoopy top tube, long chainstays, a relatively short virtual top 
tube length, and 622 listed as the rim size. I see a 29er with drop bars 
when I see it built up in my mind.

Not the Anniversary Mixte; anyone holding out hope for that save your pennies 
and be ready to get a fancy Cheviot this Spring.

Speculate all you wish; but trying to get inside Grant’s mind for potential

Tom, that bike is the inspiration for my entire idea. When I saw this bike it 
was a few years ago and I just thought it was the classiest thing on two 
wheels. I don’t want the old model because it will feel too short to me now 
that I’ve gotten used to Rivendell’s long wheelbase bikes. Plus, it’s nice to 
know it can take a fatter tire.

Sorry your bike got stolen. The annoyance doesn't go away; I should know as 
I'm still annoyed at the theft of my Diamondback BMX 30 years ago! :)

>From casual observation, a lot of bike infrastructure isn't designed by 
practical cyclists. I appreciate that someone took the effort to enhance 
cycling infrastructure, but they're doing it in a way that most practical 
cyclists won't find particularly useful. Bike racks are one fantastic 
example. Why are they usually out of the way, and shaped for inconvenient 
locking? Worse, I've seen too many that are not at all secure, due to 
simple oversights such as having nuts or bolts (affixing them to the ground 
or building) that can be removed quickly and silently by simple hand tools, 
thus negating even the most secure bicycle lock.

Copper fenders (actually just paint, not real copper) from Handsome bikes.
The picture of the bike in the bike rack is exactly the spot it was stolen 
from. It did not have that lock on it; just by coincidence I was using a thin 
cable lock that day.
Why I couldn't take it upstairs? (Using the freight elevator even), I have no 
idea? Just stupidity really. It's what happens when you give an imbecile a 
little bit of authority; power goes straight to their head.
Probably, part of it is they had JUST moved the bike rack over there, fixed the 
whole area up, painted it "look at these bikes you can steal green" as part of 
their most current refurbishment and if people didn't use it, they did it for 
nothing.
Obviously,  it didn't have the desired effect.

Ok, that is exactly the look I’m going for in my next bike. WOW. Copper 
fenders? What sorcery is this?!? Was there sparkles in the paint? It looks like 
no. I definitely want sparkles. But yes, that bike would stand out at any rack. 
Why wouldn’t security let you bring it upstairs? What is not secure about a 
bicycle??? Also, what lock did the thieves cut? I have a recurring nightmare 
that my bikes gets stolen. My brain always orchestrates the dream to end with 
me finding an extra Betty Foy frame I had in the garage that was just lying 
about. (As if!) I’ve always told myself if I just use Hexlox on the saddle and 
seatpost and 2 u-locks no one can steal my bike. Of course that’s not actually 
TRUE. I hope you find it one day, though that is little consolation now.

They had just moved the bike rack to the far side of the parking garage and the 
security people wouldn't let me take it up the elevator to my office.
They assured me it was safe, because they had security cameras.  So, as it was 
there's very nice video of the theifs Malibu and his two accomplices talking on 
their cell phones nonchalantly as he cuts the lock and stashes it in his trunk. 
2 1/2 years later and it's still missing.
The next Monday they moved the bike rack back to it's former position right by 
the front door. Day late and a dollar short as they say. They building 
management took no responsibility,  would not give me a copy of the video and 
the overworked Dallas PD couldn't care less. 

It's funny, but I think if I'd had $2,700 stolen they would have taken it very 
seriously,  but because it was a bike it hardly registers on their radar at all.

I’m currently saving up for a Chev for the Mrs. and by time I have enough to

"Fancy Cheviot"

That's what Grant called it when he brought it up to me. I believe it's since 
landed in a Blahg, or maybe I just said it to Leah and she said it to 5 people 
and here we are!

2019-12-03 Thread Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!
Let’s not open old wounds and bring up the lamentable Anniversary Mixte.  Man, 
I took that one hard. I decided if I can’t have that AM, I’d like the newer 
version of Cheviot and I’ll just get it painted 
cranberryredwithsparklesandcream (that’s how it should be said). The Betty can 
go, and I’ll sail off into the sunset on my Clem L and Fancy Chev.

No swoopy tube on the new Chev - I asked. Rumors are that the new Cheviot is 
out late spring, but I’ve been assured by many folks that Rivendell’s timeline 
often doesn’t follow what’s predicted. There are talks of longer wheelbase as 
well. This makes sense to me since they lengthened their already-long-Clems. 
Folks who had both Cheviots and Bettys said that the difference between the two 
in ride was minuscule, if not undetectable. 

I don’t know what makes the new Cheviot fancy. We started calling it that 
somewhere along the line - who remembers why?

Fancy Cheviot was mentioned to me when I asked about Leah's late, lamented, 
apparently never to be Anniversary Mixte at RBW. I don't know any more about it 
than "fancy", but it's definitely NOT the 25th swoopy-parallel-tubes step-thru 
we've seen drawings (and a lug) of. It definitely IS happening.

Based on a couple vague blahg references there's been fun speculation about 
the "25th/26th Anniversary" frame but no one really knows. Does seem like 
the Clem L < Cheviot < ___*?*___ lineup would be a little rich with 
step-thru frames, but as one of the many MOMs (Men on Mixtes) I can get 
behind / thru it! 

I suspect it will be released as soon as Bicycle Belle Ding Ding perfects 
the setup on her current ride ... then she'll have to buy another Riv. It 
will of course be in her classy cherry red with cream accents.
