I'm selling my wife's Betty Foy.  She was the second owner.  As you will see from the attached photos, it was very rarely ridden.  It is in near perfect condition; the only blemishes are small scratches on the left-side chain stay (see photo).  There are several upgrades to this bike:  fenders, dynamo and lights, saddle, seat post, stem, handlebars, rack, etc. It's a very wonderful bike.  Photos attached (more upon request).  Here are the specs (more details on request):
  • Seat Tube/Frame Size: 55 cm
  • Drive Train:
    • Rear Derailleur —  Shimano Deore
    • Front Derailleur — Shimano (I think it’s a 105, but am not sure)
    • Crankset — Sugino w/ 40 & 26 chainrings.  Pants protector in 3rd spot.
    • Shifter — Shimano Deore XT trigger Shifter
  • Brakeset — Tektro R559 long reach, Shimano Levers
  • Cables/Housing — Velo Orange/Velo Orange Metal Braid Housing
  • Handlebars — Velo Orange Curvy; Grips — Miesha's Cork Grips
  • Stem — Nitto Technomic; Seat Post — Nitto S83
  • Saddle — Brooks B67
  • Wheel: Rear Hub — Shimano; Front Hub — Shutter Precision PD-8X Dynamo
    • Rims — Velocity Synergy 650B; Tires — Rene Herse  Loup Loup Pass 
  • Lights: Front — Busch & Mueller Eyc N Plus; Rear — Topflight Mini Plus
  • Fenders — Velo Orange Snakeskin
  • Rear Rack — Nitto Big Back Rack — Medium 32R

We are asking $2,200 if you want the saddle and the rack.  Otherwise, the we are asking $2,000 without these.  Reasonable offers will be considered.

My wife loves hers as well. Looks like a very nicely kept bike at a superb price! This shouldn’t last long.

Had mine for a long time - this is a steal. Good luck with the sale!

I love mine.  If anyone has any questions or needs a test ride, please tell them to come to Charlotte.  I have a 55 Cheviot which is basically the same.  As well as a 47, 50 Betty and a 60 Cheviot.  So the rider can see many sizes for fit.

I can't tell you how much I love my Betty.  Over 71,000 miles worth.  And still riding it daily.

Hi Steve,
I sent you a couple of PMs about your Betty. Not sure if you’ve sold it yet or not!

Hi, Pam,
I'm wondering what your PBH is? I am asking because mine is 70 so the 45 Clems are the only current/in-production Rivs that I can fit but I admit I'd love a Betty Foy! I wish I could test ride but I'm in southern California:)
THank you!

My PBH is 68.  Everything but my 47 Betty is too big for me.  Hope this helps.
