About a month ago, I went to Rivendell to test ride a Betty/Yves with the intent of ordering an Yves. I liked the ride and the mixte frame quite a lot, but I also test rode a Hunqapillar with mustache bars and an Atlantis with Bullmoose bars. I really liked the feel of the canti brakes on the Hunq, and loved how natural the angle of my hands and wrists felt on the Bullmoose bars. As a result, I ended up ordering a Hunqapillar with the Bullmoose bars and high profile Tektro canti brakes. My frame should arrive within the next month. I can't wait!
But you wouldn't go wrong with a Betty/Yves. Good luck with your decision!
