Oh, no need for more precise measurements. Thanks, though! Thinking about it more, I think that there are simply too many variables. I think my long-term best hope (and this is long-term... a couple years, maybe) would be for my wife to look at / try on a Betty in person. The paint job alone would

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 for Albatross

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! Yours, Thomas Lynn Skean On Oct 8, 7:25 am, Garth

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 a tall technomic. My

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. I'm 5'11 with a PBH of

Hi! Your Betty is indeed a beautiful bike. And set up in the same general way I'd do it, I think. I like the idea of the Quickbeam crankset especially. Seems right for the bike's aesthetic *and* 'round-town intent. I'm curious... you got a 58cm, to fit both you and your daughters. What is your
