I think I agree with James that your two best fully functional bikes would be the Atlantis or the Hilborne. They consistently get mentioned in the "only one bike" debate as good choices. I also agree that when you get on in age the Betty would do you well, if riding well into old age is a goal. I think most of us would be delighted with the versatility of the Betty Foy, even if step-throughs aren't yet our thing.
