Hello! I have a 58 Yves Gomez, but I'm not sure it would help, as the wheels are 650b (vs 700c on the 60). I saw a 62 Betty Foy recently at Harris - did you ask, or has it been sold? Kate On Sunday, May 25, 2014 3:03:26 AM UTC-4, oceano...@gmail.com wrote: > > I'm trying to set my dad up wit

I have a shiny black Yves, with cream accents (not the head tube though), and honey brooks (darkening) and metal fenders which is quite attractive, and easy to touch up. The bike obviously doesn't look like the kind of bike most people ride, but I think the black helps it blend in better.
