I saw this on the Facebook group:

Seems like someone would just love this one of a kind Betty!

Maybe Pam Murray of Pam Bikes would be interested in this Betty Foy for an upgrade from her old Betty Foy bicycle ?...

No - she loves her Betty and, hers is a 47 cm and it’s too big for her. (This purple Betty is a 52.) She rides it anyway and just crossed the 70,000 mile mark last week.

Actually the purple Betty is a 50. I didn't remember the second set of sizes when I told him it must be a 52. The 47 had 26" wheels so even at 50 with the 650b wheels it would be a pretty solid jump up in size.

Hi Leah,

I thank-you for your information, regarding the frame size of Pam's Betty Foy. I did not know that.

Incredible that Pam surpassed the 70,000 mile mark on her bike ! Amazing ....

Kim,

Pam is the RivSister of all RivSisters, lol. She will go down in history as the first Rivendell rider to ride her steel frame into dust. I have long told her she needs a custom in whatever her actual size really is, tucked in her closet in case anything (heaven forbid) happen to her little Betty. I saw that bike in person at the Philly Bike Expo. It was clearly thoroughly enjoyed!

Hi Leah,

My apologies for not replying sooner than you might have expected.

I thank-you very much for your sharing with me more about Pam Murray. She's quite a shining star of joy from her smile.

Long may she ride !

I recently sold my Brooks B67S saddle to her. I hope she enjoys it more so than I did.

Enjoy !

Just seeing this convo. I tried that saddle but the springs hit the top of the rack so I'll try it on a different bike next week. Same size as my B68S but w/springs. If it doesn't fit, I'll put it on another Riv. Swapping saddles around. I couldn't believe how quickly I got the saddle from WA.

I hope someone does buy that purple Betty. If anyone has any questions, I can likely answer them. It is a do it all bike!

Hi Pam,

I'm sorry to hear that the Brooks B67S saddle I sold you isn't currently working out for you. I hope that you can find a different bike next week that it will out for you.

I'm glad to hear that you received the saddle in a very timely manner. It must have been on the Brooks Express flight to the east coast.
