Re: [RBW] Your preferred handlebar for longer rides

I am quite comfortable on my Nitto Wavie bars with Ergon GC1 grips for 100+ km rides - one very good hand position can be better than several less-than-optimal positions. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever experienced numbness with this setup, but I do sometimes with really long

I agree the 50 cm Platypus would seem to be a fit. And, they are in stock as Leah said which is unusual as of late. Leah has shared her two builds, one fast and one for hauling stuff. They are so versatile! Doug On Monday, October 24, 2022 at 7:35:50 PM UTC-4 Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: >

[RBW] Re: Betty Foy Sizing & Search

I’m 5’6” and my Betty Foy was actually a 55. Riv changed the sizing over the years; I think my Betty was in their final run. I think it will be really hard to find that bicycle, but a 50 cm Platypus is a wonderful bike, and it is available from Rivendell now. On Monday, October 24, 2022 at

[RBW] Re: Betty Foy Sizing & Search

My wife had a 58cm Betty Foy. She is about 5' - 6" tall and when we visited Rivendell, they advised that as her size. We were a bit hesitant, but upon receiving the completed bike it fit her well since it is a step-through. As noted, Riv recommended (at that time) Albatross handlebars -

Hello all, I've been looking for a step-through for my wife. She specifically likes a Betty Foy, but really anything "pretty" would work. She's not really in to changing gears a lot, and this would also be for commuting and trail rides <10 miles. Does this crew have any ideas/bikes? Also,

Yup...in 2001 I had my Riv Road (Curt Goodrich-built) painted Imron Harvest Gold. Originally I thought of red and then decided on something different...from the autumn color palette - I love fall. This was before the color became so popular. I endured some ribbing about it being the same

Re: [RBW] Re: Fender size for a Rambouiller

@Jon-the clearance for true 650x42s is about 3mm. I say true because my experience with three different brands has yielded two different widths. Rene Herse 650x42s actually measure 40mm in width while both Panaracer Pari Motos and Gravel Kings measure a true 42mm, all on Velocity A23's.
