My wife has Wavies on her Cheviot and loves them. She used to have Albatross bars, but last fall we toured Alsace and Normandy on rent-a-bikes and she raved about the handlebars. So I took some pictures and when we got home the Wavies seemed like a close match. I made the swap and she's been happy

As the self-appointed CHG messenger bird: - Timeline as been pushed out (it seems) to next summer for delivery. Pre-sale was previously set up for Nov - Jan range, not sure if this is changing - Brakes will be long-reach sidepull caliper brakes like the Homer etc. Unfortunately IMO.
