Re: [RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

Something about bird in hand vs birds in bush. A nth year anniversary bike is as yet a bit mythical, and though I hope it comes to pass It might not. A Clem L can be pre ordered today and possessed before the summer is out, and it’s properties are known (as opposed to being speculative at best).

Don’t give up on the Anniversary Mixte yet. I can’t read diagrams for love nor money, but a couple of folks on the List here looked at those drawings and said they saw the twin top tubes as being very low and swoopy. Not unlike the Clementine. Where are those folks? Chime in here! -- You recei

I don’t think anyone is calling anyone out. People need to be able to talk about race. As long as it’s done in a self aware and thoughtful way, I think it’s a positive thing. Saying race doesn’t matter is, generally speaking, a viewpoint that’s easily held when you are a member of the dominant r

Well, do you have to choose one or the other? I’ve ridden a Betty as my main (ok, only) bike since 2012. I love it; it’s nearly perfect and feels like an extension of my own body. I have a deep affection for the Betty Foy, but when my mother in law got a Clementine I fell in love with her bike

Leah Belle Dingaling (I might have the name wrong 😉) will have a direct comparison, but I'll offer Cheviot v. Clem L..Chev is basically a Betty with longer stays. Clem is a slightly stouter/heavier bike with v-brakes, I think of it as the touring/trail version compared to Chev/Betty road bikes
