Wow, Great that you were able to try them. I live in WA and tried to
find one in Seattle to try, but sadly there were none at the time so I
just trusted that it would be wonderful and it is. Weird about the
52, very counterintuitive. I am 5'3" also, making the 52 the largest
bike I have ridden
Your bike turned out quite nice. The pictures are lovely.

I know how you feel. I felt like a kid again on the Betty. I went to
the RBW in August to try one out. Surprisingly the 49 and 58 felt
great, while I felt uncomfortable on the 52 and I'm only 5'3. Go
figure. Grant also recommended the "go big" 58cm.
Lucky girl. Congrats on your new bike, I hope to
My wife rocks the 52cm Yves as well, because she preferred the black.
I prefer the blue, so if I get around to setting up a 58cm mixte,
people will wonder who is the husband and who is the wife :)
won't be the first time, either.

Well it just sort of happened. From the get go I really liked the
black color, but I did not like that it said "the international man's
mixte" and I did not like that it cost $200 dollars more than the
Betty Foyso the plan was for a Betty. I did like the blue too.
But, I took s long in d
Gorgeous scenery!
Why did you decide on the Yves instead of the Betty? What was the
deciding factors?
