I have a bright yellow 2004 Hewitt Cheviot that is not being used and it would do me (and the family finances) no harm if I converted it into cash.
The frame is in Reynolds 631, smooth (fillet brazed?) joins rather than the lugged construction on the more recent Cheviots. More braze-ons that you might ever imagine necessary, including a dynamo bracket that now serves as a bracket for a fork mounted light, above the low-rider bosses.
Top tube is 55cm centre to centre, slightly sloping. Seat tube is 50cm, down tube is 64cm. Chainstays are 46cm and the stand-over height half way along the top tube is about 80cm.
Built up with Deore triple chainset, XT front mech, Deore LX rear mech, Alivio pod shifter thingies on flat bars, lovely Magura HS11 hydraulic rim brakes, cane creek aheadset, system x stem, ergonomic bar ends and grips, Deore M510 hubs on Mavic A319 rims, Vittoria randonneur on front and Schwalbe M+ on rear. XT seatpost (or I could include a Suntour suspension post if you'd rather), B17 saddle, M520 pedals, black SKS guards.
I'd be after £500 for this - a machine that could take you round the world. If this price is too high, I'd rather keep it for when I have time for touring again.
