Re: [RBW] A bike to grow old with?

I have a Hilsen and a Betty... I think the Betty will be the one that grows old with me because 1) the step-through is easier than kicking the leg over at age 80+... and 2) I will probably shrink as I age, and the Hilsen may be too big then. I vote for Foy/Gomez too. On Friday, February 15,

Hi Pam, I have a 52 Betty and a 77 pbh. I also have a 91 red RB-1 that is 51 cm. I think that was the smallest one they made then. I think this 57/58 will be too big for you. If you can find the moolah, I think the 47 cm Toyo AHH on the Riv clearance will fit you. Karen -- You received

I love my Betty because it's nice to commute with. With the step-thru top tube, it's easy to load up rear bags or panniers and not worry about having to swing the leg over. Also easy to maneuver the front of the bike around at street lights. Can't think of anything I don't like. Btw, congrats
