Betty Foy geometry

Can anybody find the Betty Foy geometry chart on the rivbike site for me? I looked and couldn't find it. I'm sure it's there somewhere.

Thanks!

It's not explicitly stated, but if you go to the PDF linked from the
Atlantis or the A. Homer Hilsen, there is a section on that pdf that
says "mixte geometry". Try this link:

Thanks for that, William. Do you know if the "top tube" measurement
is the actual length of the top tube, or is it the distance between
the seat tube and head tube, regardless of slope (sometimes called
"effective top tube" length)?

I ask because, when I compared the "top tube" length of the 52cm Mixte
to the 54cm Ram (a bike I already have), I was surprised to see the
Mixte's top tube was longer.

Thanks,
Erin

That detail should warrant a call to Riv HQ. I personally would not
be surprised if the mixte TT is longer than a Ram. The Ram was
intended for drop bars primarily, and the mixte was intended for
Albatross bars primarily. The Betty Foy they have set up with drops
at Riv HQ has a tiny dirt drop stem on it.
