My Betty Foy gets confused for "a beach cruiser" which irks me to no end. I've
had her since 2012, and only once out in public did anyone appreciate what she
is. I was biking to school with my sons one day and a dad, who was doing the
exact same thing, remarked about the awesomeness of my bike.
I often wheel my Rivs through the store or inside the PO, and not
infrequently get comments and congratulations. Relatively few ask me how
old it is, or indicate they think it's an old bike. In fact, I get the same
reactions as I do toward the Fargo. I'm sometimes surprised when a person
says to me
No, Andrew. That can't be. They don't make people that smart and humble any
more. Grin.
With abandon,
Patrick (ducking so as to avoid the slap bound to find it way through the
interwebs).

Of all my Rivs, the blue Hillborne gets the most comments. I quite often get
compliments about its looks. I have many times gotten the comment, "hey that's
an old one!" But I've never had someone try to tell me that it really is an old
model. And questions about why the extra frame tube are pre
Yes, though more with polite surprise than actual disbelief (i. e. rudeness).
For me I'm pretty sure the double top tube is what compels the question. I'm
sure the lugs help.

That is a reoccurring question I hear when out among bike enthusiasts.
Nobody cares about the production date or from which batch it may have
come.
People are always asking me how old it is. They never ask that about the
Hunqapillar, just the Hillborne. Some are surprised when I tell them
