I'm planning on buying a Betty too. I wanted the red hetres with the honjos. From the description on Rivbike it says what Sam can do so can Betty. Both descriptions state that they can take wheels up to 40mm with fenders. Yet I see many Sam with hetres and honjos. But from what I'm hearing for all

Illuminating. Thanks for setting up the photos. Rear 3 looks mighty tight at the bridge(?) connection, but that might be camera angle. Rumor is that Riv will soon be stocking new cream colored SKS. Have convinced my wife that these will appeal to her aesthetic as much as the elven-hammered honjos.

I bought a Betty for my daughters to borrow from me... :-) Bought the size 58 since it fits us all, me and them. For them it's on the brink of being too large, for me on the brink of being too small, but nevertheless good for all. It's not my primary bike but rather, my bike to do errands around P
