[RBW] FS: 55 cm Betty Foy

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

Here is the bike that can do anything. Anything! Pull children on 
trail-a-bikes, ride to the beach, have stuffed animal picnics on sunny 
days, whisk you away over northern prairies, conquer Nevada’s unreasonable 
hills, and sparkle like a gemstone wrapped in Christmas lights for the 
holidays. This is Rivendell’s best color scheme, and in the geometry that 
many of you are fond of. She is as smart as she is beautiful. 


This was one of the last Bettys ever made, pulled from the maw of the 
warehouse by Keven and brought to life at Rivendell before I arrived to 
pick her up. Many of her parts are still original. The hearts in the 
lugwork are filled in with a delightful red. There are the usual dings in 
the paint but no dents, and the bike has never been crashed. I am happy to 
send more photos upon request. 


She has made my life richer; and she will do the same for her next rider. 
She comes with everything you see here, except the saddle. She has SKS 
fenders, Miesha’s cork grips, 2 brass bells (a polite one and a yelling 
one), King IRIS cage, kickstand, and Abus lock for rear axle (anti-theft 
deterrent; lay bike on its side and use 8 mm hex key to remove rear wheel). 
Bosco Bullmoose bars with Silver bar-end friction shifters.


$1800, plus shipping. Photos to come in second post - Google Groups is 
behaving strangely and is not attaching them at present...


PM me with questions, please.

Do you remember the recommended PBH for the Betty’s?

Oh good, another Leah Bicycle Belle bike that's just perfect and rare and 
reminds me that instead of spending all this money and waiting for a custom..I 
could have bought this! But alas it is not to be, so it is for thee. 

This is my favorite Riv colorway ever, I love the mostly-blue/slightly-green 
main color with the cutouts and hearts in red instead of the more common cream 
(hint, I kinda borrowed the red part for my custom). And the gold panel, 
downtube decal and headbadge. It's just gorgeous, somebody buy this!

Ugh 😫.  Just the bike I was looking for but unfortunately can’t pull the 
trigger right now.  Such a beautiful Betty and a perfect build for my wife.  
Whoever buys it will be very lucky.

Rocky - dog deep into those pockets! This is the bike for your wife and she 
deserves it (I’ve never met her but I have a gut feeling 😉)

Joe - yes, I am not sure you shouldn’t have had BF Blue on your custom! This 
paint is to die for - and I would never ever have dreamt it up but it’s 
phenomenal. But nah, your color scheme is going to be perfect for your custom.

Valentine’s Day is coming, folks. Wouldn’t this be the perfect gift? 😍

I’m 5’6” with an 81 cm PBH. I told myself it was 83 (which is why Roberta 
thinks it is) but I re-measured recently and I’m definitely 81. Wishful 
thinking!

[Bill Lindsay]

This is probably not relevant to anybody’s ruminations but... I briefly owned a 
58cm Betty with the intent of running it with drop bars. When I was buying it, 
Keven asked “do you want to wait for the new 55?  It has the identical numbers, 
just with the seat tube 3cm shorter”. I’m a 86cm PBH 5’10” Person. If I was 
running upright bars I’d go bigger. I’m certain I could rock a 55 Betty with 
drops and I know that if I did that, BBDD would be delighted at the 
resurrection

Get outta town! Awesome! (And remind me never to play poker with you!) 

Now if Rivendell would only run this as an ad during the Super Bowl, all 
its problems would disappear!

Great soundtrack, too.

You do know, not that there was any doubt, that even kiddingly 
contemplating buying it back puts you irrevocably in the "Bicycle Obsessed" 
category? (I have not only contemplated doing this, but actually done it. 
We'll see.)

Thanks, Tom! I do love Rivendell.

Mark - hmmm...playing pokerwhy wouldn’t you play with me? I clearly have no 
poker face (spills guts all over emotional video, thinks out loud about dumb 
plans to buy back bike). I wouldn’t stand a chance 😂. Bike obsessed - well, I’m 
pretty bad but you’ve got it worse. You bought your own bike BACK???

Bill Lindsay is selling a slew of bikes over on his thread. Bill! Did you need 
me to make some sappy videos for your 9 bikes??? I’m here!

Ah, you all are fun,

In my defense, it was actually only a frame and fork, which I needed to 
sell before I could build it up and try it. Turns out the guy I sold it to 
never built it either, so...

Re: [RBW] FS: 55 cm Betty Foy

[masmojo]

Ha! Nice video. 
Buy it back, yes I can relate.
When I sold my Bstone XO-1. I  sold it because I figured out after 22 years 
that it was a smidge too small. A little of the sting was taken out, because I 
was selling to another Bridgestone/Rivendell fanatic, but later when he turned 
around and sold what was an almost totally original violet XO-1 to someone who 
changed a bunch of the components (black cranks?) & put stickers on the top 
tube that said (Purple Rain) I felt a little ill, a little helpless to stop 
what really felt like an injustice, but I guess your children grow away from 
you and you have to let them go on to their destiny.
I did sell my original "nice bike" on to a friend of mine when I  bought my 
Klien Pinnacle back in the day. Then later bought it back when I noticed it 
languishing in his garage.

Having, been through that I feared you might have sellers remorse, which is why 
I recommended holding on to it until after you got the new bike and saw how it 
was going to fit your life.

Re: [RBW] FS: 55 cm Betty Foy

[Leah Peterson]

BUMP. Is that what you say?

It has been 6 days since a List buyer claimed my Betty Foy and he has yet to 
provide a shipping address or payment. The deadline has now passed, he’s been 
notified, and I’m re-listing the bike. There have been zero objections to the 
bike or the deal, for either party, so I can only speculate as to why the he 
did not complete the transaction. As per the deal, I have paid to have the bike 
professionally disassembled and packed at a local bike shop. I just need an 
honest buyer.

So, with that unpleasantness aside, for sale is a lovely, fully-lugged Betty 
Foy in 55 cm. She is boxed and ready for shipment. See my original post for the 
terms.

Thanks, All!

That said, it WOULD be an all-time great Vday present.

[Leah Peterson]

Rob,

It’s true I’m not particularly motivated to see it go. There is something about 
it that is just timeless and eternally lovely. When I told my family I was 
selling they all had the same reaction, “What??? NO!” The boys have grown up 
with this bike in their lives, it’s true. 

I plan to get a Cheviot this summer, and I don’t feel like I should have THREE 
Riv mixtes, you know? Although, I’m warming up to the idea a little more all 
the time. 😬

What is wrong with three Riv "mixtes"? I have a Clementine, Betty Foy,

fourth...
