I am currently running 26" 48 mm tires with compound fenders on my
Appaloosa. 42 mm tires should work fine on the Cheviot.

Your Cheviot is beautiful. I think it's one of the most comfortable bikes
to ride.
Have fun.

Thanks, Ann. My riding time has been limited lately, but I get out there when I
can!

I loved watching the progress of your bike coming together. The only last
thing is to ride the absolute c**p out of it :)

A note about Chop Chorts. They're "fenders" in the way a custom bobber
motorcycle has fenders: They look good and will keep a modicum of road spray
back, but you wouldn't be commuting in Seattle with these things. I live in
mostly dry California and bought them for the look, ease of mounting,
Abe: The Chop Chorts on a Cheviot don't pass under either brake so the tire
size limit is the same as with no fenders. I'm running 41-ish Fatty Rumpkins
but think I could easily get 48mm tires in there.
PBH is 79ish, but I'm kinda short-legged vs. torso. Flipped Choco Bars with one
inch
Looks fantastic, the grips are nice and chunky, the blue is great.
How wide a tire do you think you can fit with those Chop Chort fenders? I'm
hoping to fit 42mm tires with fenders on my friend's 60cm Cheviot and I'm
not sure which fenders would work best, but these Chorts sure look nice on
Real nice Joe! Wishing you many happy rides.

Thanks, Julian. I've been through a couple Rivs in the last couple years, but
this feels like a keeper. After a little more riding I feel stronger about it
being more road-ish than my Appaloosa and Clem L were. It reminds me a lot of
my old Romulus; like if you took that bike, dropped the

That looks great. I love the blue, and the very clean build. Fun!

Congratulations Joe! That blue looks really good. Please post some more pics as
the build evolves. Have fun!

Joe the Chev looks splendid, I love the color and those wheels look familiar!
:) I'm glad they found such a great home and a good looking frame too augment.
Between this and all the glowing reports from Patrick I have to admit I'm
getting single speed curious again... I guess it's a good thing
Yes indeed, Adam, and you're already set up for it. You'll need a single cog
and Gear Clamps or spacers (Riv has everything), tensioner, and shorten the
chain a bit (8-speed. If you have a 9 that won't work). The Paul Melvin acts
like the cage on a regular derailer, and has a bit of float in
Is it possible to make this a shiftable 2-speed with a front derailer?

Yes, it's also very close to my old Romulus. I'm pretty sure they're all the
same color. It's so pretty!

The blue is really beautiful and looks close to the silvery aquamarine
color of my San Marcos. I look forward to more pictures once you have the
Woody's installed and the bike broken in. I love how the cream accents
look against the metallic blue.

Nice bike Joe! I have a green one that has all the racks and fenders on it. I
sometimes think I should strip it down but haven’t done so yet. Enjoy it!

Happy trails,

Palmer: I can hear the chain a bit, but I'm used to derailers so I'm not sure
what would be noisy to you. It's a stiff tension if that's what you mean: I
pounded over some speedbumps in the parking area and didn't get a lot of
tensioner bounce like you would with a rear derailer.
Eric: I don't
I love the color! Whats the width of the Fatty Rumpkins? I'm interested to
see how the fenders fit. I saw a Cheviot at FFD this past fall and the
wheelbase was much longer than it appears on line.
