I have 3 other amazing bicycles, but the Cheviot is what I ride the most. Not that I would do a fast 200k on it or take it mountainbiking (I rides single track well enough though) but for most rides it is an amazing bike. Tends to put you in a different frame of mind. A very practical bike! I

50 is about the max. If you are running fenders, adding a centerpull (I use diacompe) in the front greatly increases breathing room. I have run 47mm with fenders on my 60cm and that was tight. 42s are preferred. Clayton Scot SF, CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

I feel like setting bar height in isolation is likely silly. I have 4 bicycles and each has a different bar height. The bike's geometry and purpose dictate bar height and bar shape to a degree. On my brevet bike I run drop bars below seat with a longish stem On my Cheviot I run them above

The Bella Fiesta will solve the straddle cable issue. The diacompe may be a little tight around a 60mm fender, but some strategic dimpling would do the trick. Mafac Raids would be the best choice likely for that fender width, but they can be a little tricky to find at a reasonable price and

I am aware that the Cheviot has no cp brazeons. I do own one ;-). Dc750 is the diacompe model. Can be found on ebay as singles. That brake is designed for centermounting. Nutted version is what I used as it saved me from dealing with a Sheldon nut. Just fill the recess with a valve stem
