Paul, riding my big cheviot feels so good sometimes I have to pinch myself to be sure I’m not dreaming. Or as one list member once said: it’s like floating on a cloud, eating ice cream while wearing a Snuggie Big Al -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

If you want to ride a Cheviot, I'm in Charlotte and have a 55 and a 60. Try both and see which is better. Email me as I'm not on here much. On Wednesday, November 13, 2019 at 8:18:20 AM UTC-5, Tom Wyland wrote: > > This thread is super helpful to me as I have been looking for a used >
