Re: [RBW] Re: Sam or Cheviot - what would you get for an all rounder?
Yep - I really wanted a bike that worked well with Albatross bars and the Cheviot I read was built around it. My other bikes are a Hunq/Albastache and Gunnar/drops. Only thing I need to add now is a quickbeam or quickbeam successor with Jitensha bars. And my life will be complete. No more new bikes. No more bike tinkering. I can live peacefully. N + 1 will just be 'N' ;) On Saturday, September 20, 2014 6:35:26 PM UTC-7, danmc wrote: Congrats! It will be a great ride.

Re: [RBW] Re: Sam or Cheviot - what would you get for an all rounder?
I was rather surprised to find that the chainstays of my Ram are 1-1.5 cm shorter than those on my 2 customs -- 43.5 per the geom chart versus 44.5 (center of horizontal dropouts) and yet the customs handle a bit quicker than does the Ram. The customs exhibit an unerring straight line stability while having perfectly intuitive turn-in. The Ram is more stable but slightly more sluggish in the turn-in. In fact, the two customs -- pure road machines -- have stays as long as those on the Fargo.

Re: [RBW] Re: Sam or Cheviot - what would you get for an all rounder?
I buy into the idea that it's all a matter of how upright you sit. When you sit way upright (as encouraged by Cheviot and Appaloosa) the center of mass does move backward. In that case, lengthening the support base through longer chainstay seems to make sense. Rivs' chainstays have generally lengthened during a number of years that has coincided with new, more upright cockpit options. -Jim W. -Original Message- From: Bill Lindsay <tapebu...@gmail.com>Sent: Sep 19, 2014 7:10 AM To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: [RBW] Re: Sam or Cheviot - what would you get for an all rounder? Jan disagrees with the notion that short chainstays result in a sportier ride. "Some riders and builders believe that longer chainstays make the bike more stableIn practice, we have found chainstay length does not noticeably influence the bike's stability."Bicycle Quarterly Volume 10 No 2. page 46.Jan goes on to describe the controlled experiment he conducted to arrive at his conclusion that chainstay length doesn't matter.

Re: [RBW] Re: Sam or Cheviot - what would you get for an all rounder?
I went Cheviot for just those purposes. Actually for rear-mounted child seat but the ability to stand without worry is a big plus in either child seat scenario. Also figured that a step-through frame would be a bonus as the years go by. And the Cheviot is still a great bike for trails and S24Os. The green is gong to be awesome but the orange is pretty great.

Re: [RBW] Re: Sam or Cheviot - what would you get for an all rounder?
Thinking about it for a bit, the only drawback to the Cheviot is the lack of bottle cage mounts. The 55 has one. A second one could go on the down tube as on the Sam. Sure there is a reason for it being the way it is. Using a Pass and Stow porteur rack with a Freight Baggage rack bag so there plenty of room to carry additional liquids. But it is a minus for riding without the rack and bag. On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 4:16 PM, Will waller.will...@gmail.com wrote: Cheviot.

Re: [RBW] Re: Sam or Cheviot - what would you get for an all rounder?
A lot of love for the Cheviot! The single set of water bottle mounts is strange for rivendell. But agreed, the only time i'd really need two sets are for s240's and i can carry additional water in a rack or bag at that point. Step thru definitely seems to be an important piece here.
