LOVE all the pictures! I can't wait to see it in person in Philly at the
Philly Bike Expo. I hope you do come ride w/me again. And we should go
ride in MI w/Leah. She makes it sound delightful.

John, I will measure when I get home tonight.
What an interesting thought, Andy. In fact, pre-Riv I didn’t even know
you could change a stem or any other component, except for tires.
I took the pics after my ride on Sunday, which I started once the rain had
stopped. I've been on several
Fantastic bike Roberta! I love the personal touches you put on it to make
it your custom Rivendell. Don't you love it when a plan comes together.

Yes, all of what Andy said. I have never said these words but I FEEL them after reading his post. What a lovely thought, that your bike is the culmination of all of your riding experiences. I’m going to think about this for awhile…And, I also concur that the bike deserves a better moniker. I’ll als
Fantastic Roberta!
A bike is the sum of its parts. More accurately, a sum of the stories of
all the parts that they represent to you. It validates all of your past
riding by developing preferences and aesthetics of parts you may not have
been keenly aware of before 2017. Most production (boxed)
Roberta, this is stunning. As you know I'm kinda crazy about red hearts and
this is the red heartest bike ever! You did an amazing job making your
bicycle exactly as you wanted it, it's literally perfect ❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful Betty and great report. One suggestion, check the distance from
the ground to the front mudflap is 4 cm or greater. 4cm is generally
considered to the minimum distance. Any lower increases air resistance and
tends to pick up much more debris from the road. The SKS safety
Best wishes for your prospective retirement. I hope your retirement is
early, well financed, long-lasting, and happy.

Thank you for all your well wishing. And, good wishes to you, too!
This group has always been so helpful, so supportive. It also got me into

Congrats Roberta! I bought my first riv for my 40th birthday and then I
bought a Jitensha Studio Ebisu for my 50th birthday. But I’ve had my eyes
open for a Betty Foy for my oldest daughter. She’s not old/tall enough yet,
but I’m jealous of the gem you found! I’m also jealous of your retirement.
😊
It just turned out so well! Where will you go? What will you see? Maybe you
will keep a ride journal with places and miles you go on your Betty in
retirement. All the happy miles to you, and I hope to look upon this little
blue-green wonder in March at the Philly Bike Expo!

Excellent, excellent choice.
When I retired I also bought a Rivendell. I’ve never regretted it.
Neither will you.
Love the mud flaps! Great choice! Enjoy!

Fantastic bike, Roberta. What a great way to kick off your retirement. The
whole setup is just smart; so much utility. Great choice in components and
accessories!

Hello Roberta,
I love the painted hearts, hearts on the mud flags and the other red
accents you've added to your Betty. They all add a bit of whimsy to the
bike that made me smile. Should be a great bike to ride. I find that my
Crust Lightning Bolt canti with 650b x 42 tires is my favorite for
That mudflap is spectacular! Beautiful bike and thanks for sharing the
story.

Really gorgeous bike Roberta! I can look at those heart lugs all day, and
those mud flaps. I love how you have combined function with all those
little touches that bring day to day joy. And it fits on Amtrak and public
transportation!
