Well it just sort of happened. From the get go I really liked the black color, but I did not like that it said "the international man's mixte" and I did not like that it cost $200 dollars more than the Betty Foy....so the plan was for a Betty. I did like the blue too. But, I took soooo long in deciding to commit and order it that by the time I was ready to take the plunge RBW was out of Betty's in my size (52 cm), I probably could have fit at 49 cm Betty but I really wanted the 650 B wheels. They were expecting more Betty's in August but sadly no 52 cm's. And were unsure when they would get them in 52 cm. So I went for the Yves Gomez. And I am really happy with. I do like the black better (much better actually) and I can live with the slogan on the label - its really small and no one really sees it.
It is soooo much fun to ride I just can't stay off of it. I haven't felt like this about a bike, in well, forever.
