I just posted pictures of the Betty Foy and some new pictures of the 
original Rivendell Mixte that are for sale.

[RBW] Re: FS: 55cm Betty Foy New in Box

2013-04-17 Thread Charlie


I just checked my Rivendell account information on the web site - the 55 cm 
Betty Foy was shipped to me on 2/19/12.  As  I mentioned, I have 2 55cm 
mixtes - the other was shipped in November.  The only reason I didn't build 
the Betty last spring was because I had knee surgery last May and just 
didn't want to build a bike I couldn't ride much.  Then the Yves presented 
itself.

Kevin told me the same thing as mentioned above about the size - the 55 cm 
is the same bike as the 58cm except the seat post is 3 cm lower.  This 
suited me since I ride with a very high handle bar height at my almost 65 
years of age.  This is also the reason I never built up the original 
Rivendell 52 cm mixte or the 51 cm Atlantis I recently sold - I knew the 
handlebar height wouldn't be high enough.

Pictures of the Yves and original Rivendell mixte (that is also for sale) 
are here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/7338969@N06/7583232160/in/photostream


To answer several other questions:

I'm in northern central Ct 2 miles south of the Mass border.

No pictures of the Betty which is packed in a box - pictures are the same 
as on the website.  If someone is ready to buy, I'll certainly take a 
picture.

The Betty is a frame only not a built bike.  No component has ever been 
mounted on it - except of course the headset and bottom bracket which were 
included.  It also comes with a seatpost.

I'm not in the market (I have a Betty in a box already).  I do have a 
question though:  How do you have a one-year-old 55cm Betty when the first 
ever shipment of 55cm Betty's are coming next month?  Could yours possibly 
be a 58 or a 52?

 when I received it.

 I just got back from my first semi significant ride on the Yves Gomez and 
 it is a suburb riding bike.  

 Anyway, $900 for the Betty and I would prefer a local sale so I don't have 
 to ship although I suspect shipping will probably be necessary

 PS:  I also have a never built 52 cm original Rivendell mixte  for sale.  
 $2000 - contact me if interested.

I believe the size switch on the Betty/Yves happened last year. So old and new 
sizing were both in stock to some degree. 

At least I was able to get Amy a 50 Betty last (2012) spring.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 55cm Betty Foy New in Box

2013-04-16 Thread William
When I bought my 58 a couple months back I was given the option to wait 
until May for the 55s.  So if there really were ever 55s, they simply sold 
through the first batch.  

The way Keven compared the 55 with the 58 was that they are identical, 
except that the seat tube is 3cm shorter.  That's all.  You'll run your 
seatpost with 3cm more showing, but every other fit dimension is exactly 
the same
