At ~$1500 it's not a poor man's anything, but it's a lot cheaper than any other Rivendell, so it's all relative. What do think of this bike?
I test rode one a few weeks ago (tge Clementine). It was a very speedy step-through. Nice ride, very cushy, way better than my Public Bike, though oddly it had a men's b17 saddle. That sucked.
I had my heart set on a mixte frame. I tried the Cheviot too. I was very impressed. And that was way out of budget. And Riv doesn't do internal gears. So my poor girl's cheviot is my Soma Buena Vista (still waiting for her lights and chain guard).
