After listening to my daughter's many admiring comments about her Mother's Betty, I engaged her in a bike conversation. Of course the Betty is amongst the most beautiful production bikes ever made, but it turns out that the real attraction was the step through feature. For the last two years most of her riding has included our grandson on the rear seat. This year he has graduated to a tag-a-long and she has sold her car, so lots of riding around town, to & from work, etc. A step throug makes a lotta sense for her. So in a fit of generosity I offered to buy her a new frame. Then it turns out that she is not ready to let go of her drop bars. She thinks they give her more power but I suspect that her entire (25 year) biking experience has been on either a classic Bianchi/Campy racing bike and a SOMA Dbl Cross leads her to like what she knows.
It turns out she is right between Riv's small & medium size and so we have wondered if the smaller size could be matched to drop bars for her. Have any of you tried to use a Betty, Cheviot, or Clementine with drop bars? michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
