A mixte anniversary design (and I've only heard it mentioned here, not in any official Rivendell communications-- I guess I missed it) will not address the issue you are having with your Betty Foy in terms of its step throughness. I on my Clementine for over a year, and have ridden a friend's Cheviot. The Clem L is a great bike. Even with the so-so stock tires it rode well, as aptly described by Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!. You really can't go wrong if you are intending to use it as a town go getter with some zip. It will also do so much more. Lugs are nice, but the lines of the Clem, with the swooping top tube, and the lovely paint and clean welds and nice fork crown, are beautiful, too.
