I know how you feel. I felt like a kid again on the Betty. I went to the RBW in August to try one out. Surprisingly the 49 and 58 felt great, while I felt uncomfortable on the 52 and I'm only 5'3. Go figure. Grant also recommended the "go big" 58cm.
Lucky girl. Congrats on your new bike, I hope to join you with a new Betty in a few months. Ness On Oct 4, 10:38 pm, Powderpiggy <keely.murd...@verizon.net> wrote: > Well it just sort of happened.
