As well as the frame, the frameset also includes Reynolds' classy Ouzo Pro fork and a Rotor stem.
We tested the 2009 Betty Leeds at the back end of 2008 (check out the vid below) and if If you are in the market for a high end steel frameset or complete bike you could do a lot worse than check out the Betty Leeds a distinctive looking bike that delivers a really sweet ride - we weren't that keen on the DT Swiss Mon Chaperal wheels on ours but the rest of the kit was spot on and the finish is beautiful too.
