Like Drew I live in LA and tried out Betty Foys while up North for a wedding. I was so impressed with the staff and Grant that when I got back home, I choose a custom mixte. I was sized over the phone and trusted that Grant knew what he was doing and I was right. I take my mixte everywhere, except if I need to park it on the street downtown. It handles the LA potholed streets and the gravel on my most recent tour to Zion and Bryce. I know you won't be disappointed.
