The main feature is very low step through height. The finished bike weighs 23 pounds. That's 15 pounds less than her old bike. Although the composite frame probably weighs a few pounds less than her old one, much of the weight savings comes from lightweight components. I joined the front and rear at the time of manufacture by laminating the carbon fiber over the bottom bracket shell and the bottom part of the seat tube.
Carbon wraps completely around the seat tube and the bottom bracket shell.
The rear triangle was custom brazed for Betty's bike by Holland Cycles . Here you can see the main feature - the low step through height. Betty doesn't have to lift her leg nearly as high as she did with her old girl's bike. You can see the water bottle was a tight fit. There is barely enough room for Betty to miss hitting it with her knee when mounting.
