Oh Betty !!
Betty's are so cool looking thanks for the detailed photos.
I'd love to get one too, but I see by the proportions that even the
62cm wouldn't be tall enough in the front end for me. (I use a 82cm
saddle height) I thought these would have that, as they are intended

Yup. The fenders were lighter plastic than the Mt. Zefal of the
time. They were very short. Ended up making a long mudflap for my
Stumpjumper mountain bike/commuter. That bike was also set up with
the original Moots Mounts which had the wooden ball ends. The fenders
were strong. Raced at

Oh, bummer. If the 62cm isn't tall enough for you in the front, I have
little hope that I'd be happy on a 58; I ride with an 80cm saddle
height and I like my bars *high*. Oh well. looks like we'll each need
a Betty, the wife and I!

Yeah Thomas . it appears the top of the head tube is about the
same height as the top of the seat tube on the Betty maybe a touch
higher. If you can extrapolate from there what you'd need in stem
height you'll get a good idea how it may or may not work for you with

Wondering if anyone can explain this phenomenon.
A couple months ago found a Wipperman 9sx chain at a good price.
Still an extravagance, but decided to get it for my Riv Road (riv
content) which had been relatively neglected since the arrival of the
52 Sam. Previous chain needed cleaning, but

If I was getting the Betty just for me, then I'd have gotten the 62 as
it fits me better. However, save for the fact that I too would like to
be able to raise the bars a bit higher and at this point cannot (Nitto
stem is at maximum extension) it's still a pretty good fit.
