Enjoyable story. It looks like RIvendell has a whole new market in your
extended family.

It was a Toyo Atlantis that Roberta was looking at possibly buying. 83 PBH
would be pushing it for sure and only for someone with a long torso and arms,
but doable. The MIT Atlantis is sized differently.
I'm at 84PBH and would fit a Toyo 56cm or 58cm.

I happened to be driving by for a quick frame dropoff, and I saw Leah and the
fam. Leah was talking with Grant, so I didnt want to interrupt but part of me
wanted to shout, "hey it's the Betty Foy bunch writer gal and the Clem lad."
Glad it was a fun visit.

Agree. My PBH is 85 & I'm at the low end of the range for 58 cm Atlantis.
On the old ones, I could have ridden either 56 or 58 as they overlapped. I
rode a 53 cm MIT Atlantis last year at RBWHQ & the fit was great, so the
new geo & fit is going to be quite different from the old ones. In

Ordinarily, I really enjoy your posts. But I LOVE this one! What a
fantastic story. Grant looks like he's having as much fun as your kids.

Back in the day I would sprinkle instant coffee powder into polyester resin for
surfboard repairs. Might end up looking more tan/brown than amber though.

Hi Kai,
I position my saddle so my sit bones are centered about where the
widest part of the saddle is. I do shift back and forth a tiny bit when I
stretch out or sit up straight and ride hands free. I am riding with larger
pedals, with my arches centered over the spindles of the pedals, so

Hi cinzaw,
I suggest searching the board for comparable bikes that have been posted in
the past. Use "for sale", "Betty Foy", and "Yves Gomez" as search keywords,
and look at pricing for completes and frames. Use those prices to inform
you of how to price your bike initially, though note that
Use some alcohol based ink, it'll mix right in and probably be more
beautiful. At that point, why not custom tint to a more interesting color?

size of the frame is important, so post frame size or some measurements.
Your location would be good for people to know.

I can't give you a price. But what size is it? Might be interested once you
come up with a price.

I have a blue Betty Foy I got fall of 2012 in quite good condition. It
is a smidge too tall for my toes to hit the ground even with the post all
the way down. I may sell it if I can not get a good fit with a different
saddle. (currently B67 .. I will try B17s or C19)
Any general advice

Sounds like a win-win situation. Robb congrats on the sale. Nick I am
fortunate to have a 55cm Appaloosa that I love to ride. Great bikes! I
predict years of happy peddling.

I didn't do the install, so I guess some investigation is in order. If it

Not mine -- Rivendell Cantilever Sam Hillborne 60cm - $900 on Craigslist
in Columbus, OH area.
I consider this a screaming good deal if you're within shouting distance of
Columbus -- note the lister says "Local cash sale only - no boxing and
shipping to Timbuktu or elsewhere."
Nice build
This saddle has sold pending receipt of payment. Thanks for looking.

I have a bike that had cork grips installed by Rivendell and I wanted to
replace the bars. I assumed I would have to destroy them, but based on a
post to this list recently, I just twisted them off. Riv had put just
enough adhesive to keep them in place, but not so much as to make them
impossible
That is a great price, even though their description misrepresents the
front rack. It's not a Mark's Rack. If it was a Mark's Rack, there would
be attachment points on the platform for a second set of struts. That's an
M18, and the divingboard is sagging, just like anyone would expect it to

I gather these are always glued on and there are at least a couple adhesive

I have a Berthoud Aspin on my AHH with Noodle bars, and a Vars on my
Hunqapillar with Albatross bars. I know the numbers point to the wider
Berthoud saddles being similiar to the B17, but to my sit bones and butt,
the Aspin/Aravis saddles feel like a B17 select but more comfortable,
The second one is in Carbondale, IL and is also a 58 cm, and only $1500, w/
what looks like a standard Riv build, plus rack and basket and Herse Barlow
Pass tires. Quite a good deal, IMHO -- if it were only my size! It is
listed by a shop, so perhaps shipping will be easier?
