Thanks Marty for setting this up. I can look at BF and YG set ups all
day. I haven't seen an unattractive yet. All are beautiful.

The new Flickr Group now includes both models. Yves owners are free to
add photos anytime! The "shorty" url still says bettyfoy, but the
official group name now includes both models.

It got a lot of comments at CicLAvia (and most all the time), though
interestingly the Big Dummy I was riding that day got even more. The
wife was a bit envious of the attention.

Bobby,
Any Yves is just a repainted Betty with new decals. In fact, when they come off
the ship they're all Bettys. The change happens here in the US according to
Keven. Therefore, all sizes are available. I would have gotten the larger 62

Even better: a chain guard made out of the same wood as the fenders,
including the light double stripe.

Hi Ness,
I used the 175mm Quickbeam Nitto crank set that Riv sells. My intention has
always been to be the primary user of the Betty and for their occasional use,
my daughters would be fine with that crank set. I did buy the red Hetres but
since they didn't fit with the Honjo fenders, I've neve
Rene,
Very lovely Betty. What size is your crank? When I get my Betty, I'm
thinking of the same build, but I would like to try some red hetres. I
do like Scott's wood fenders, though.

Wow, this is a great looking bike, my only (minor) changed would've
been top mount shifters, the bar end ones kind-of stand out to me.
those fenders look great, i've always wondered how well those age
though.
only thing i'd consider is maybe a painted color-matched chain

Scott, that is a sensational looking bicycle! Betty deserves to be

I hope your wife appreciates her more than we do ... I am still
oogling Betty, third time I looked at your new ride today!
Well done.

Thanks! Yes, the compound curve woody's threw me for a bit of a loop. Rear one

Nice combination of materials. Leather, cork, metal, wood. I love
that Brooks B67 with that bike.
Is that a VO water bottle cage? If so how do you like it? I bought
two. One broke on a wield shortly after (while I was adjusting/
squeezing), the other is still going strong.

Simply gorgeous. Well done. I love the component you chose. Everything
fits and looks beautiful.

Very VERY well-done. My buddy Doug had a bear of a time getting those
compound curved woodies into his A. Homer Hilsen. Betty's generous
clearances seem to have taken them without much issue. Stunning color
combos. I like the quickbeam style crankset choice (guard/medium/
small) rings in
Love it!
