Reasons why more Betty Foys don't pop up. First, there probably never really that many to start with. 2) Being replaced by the Cheviot. 3) The introduction of the Clementine. 4) It was more or less targeted for women & sadly there's a much smaller number of female cyclists. 5) Probably more than most Rivendells, as in your example are purchased for the intended user by a well meaning loved one. Depending on that relationship, daughter, wife, girlfriend, etc. The bike may be ridden or it may sit in the garage, store unit, etc. Many BF recipients may have no clue about their bikes origin or how exceptional it really is. So they may pass it down, give it to charity or worse just let it collect dust. I was brutally made aware of this by my sister who I discovered gave a bunch of REALLY nice bikes that I had sent them to the Goodwill while cleaning out their storage room. When I see how much similar bikes go for on Ebay it's hard to keep from crying.
