Re: [RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

I love the arc and I really hope the frame happens. I also hope we get more info eventually, we've been trying to decipher one diagram offered with no explanation of what it is for a couple months now. I need information! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

While the Boots has a swoop it wouldn't form a perfect circle like the arc of the Anniv. image. The curved TT of the Low Clem is more functional/utilitarian looking to me, not really elegant at all. Not that it's super important, it's just I couldn't help but notice the beautiful perfect

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

The top tube on the Gus is higher up that that. It's like a swoopy H style not a true step through style like in the diagram. That diagram is showing the top mixte view and the side mixte view. On Monday, June 10, 2019 at 2:38:58 PM UTC-4, Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > > But friends, I

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

But friends, I thought the swooped top tube shown is the Gus bike and the twin tubes floating above are for the Anniversary Mixte. I thought it was both bikes pictured in a single diagram . If not, then the AM definitely has swoopy twin top tubes... Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 10, 2019, at

[RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

I'm referring to the side profile Leah, the downward swoop of the top tubes from the top of the head tube to mid seatstay ! The twin parallel downward swooping tubes continue unbroken the whole way from head tube to seatstay. I call it elegant as the line is a smooth arc rather than

[RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

I am curious how anyone can look at the twin top tubes and see “swoopy.” I want them to be, because I agree with Cinza - I want my mixte to be a step through. I have believed they will be swoopy, trusting the interpretation of others, but the twin tubes appear straight to my untrained eye.

[RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

Here is the photo from the blahg of the so-called anniversary frame . The elegant swoop is unique to any other Riv. design, as you'd expect a Anniv. Special frame to be. Neither like or unlike a Low Clem or Mixte !

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

Yes, I do remember this now, thank you. Nothing about extra swoopy. And "special" lugs, not necessarily fancy--that's because of the ovalized flattish tubing. A total of 100, so, unlike Clem and Chev, likely to be a full-priced model, if not more. My sense, with the Gus Boots and its

He definitely said something about flattish tubes which would be hard to put decals on. I'm not sure about fancy lugs (maybe he said it to you?) but I imagine an anniversary Riv would have them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

This is correct, the mixte or step-through or whatever-the-heck it's called on the Blahg was a very low, swoopy design. Much more Clemy than Chevy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

Something about bird in hand vs birds in bush. A nth year anniversary bike is as yet a bit mythical, and though I hope it comes to pass It might not. A Clem L can be pre ordered today and possessed before the summer is out, and it’s properties are known (as opposed to being speculative at

Don’t give up on the Anniversary Mixte yet. I can’t read diagrams for love nor money, but a couple of folks on the List here looked at those drawings and said they saw the twin top tubes as being very low and swoopy. Not unlike the Clementine. Where are those folks? Chime in here! -- You

A mixte anniversary design (and I've only heard it mentioned here, not in any official Rivendell communications-- I guess I missed it) will not address the issue you are having with your Betty Foy in terms of its step throughness. I on my Clementine for over a year, and have ridden a friend's

Yes, I would only have one bike. I did not know the fat tires make for a feeling of speed, I was concerned the tires would make the ride feel heavier. You've made me curious about the Anniversary Mixte", I didn't know there was another bike to look forward to. I'll look to find out more on
