Betty x OPEN 2.0 MIN.D. Limited Edition

Andy Kessler - 24-Oct-2021
In last weeks blog about the MIN.D.LESS Durace limited edition I told you we have partnered up with some interesting industry people to have them do some crazy paint schemes on our Ready To Paint frames.

Maybe you remember that we did a collaboration with Betty Design on the base of an U.P. a while ago.

Betty + Open joined forces again this year and this time we collaborated on a Betty x OPEN MIN.D. Limited Edition. Betty went all in on the design with striking graphics in metallic gold + gloss matt atop a matte white base.



Thoughtful Betty Designs motifs including; "Badass + Beautiful" lettering on thetop tube, butterflies on the seat stay, the Betty Designs skull / butterfly logo on the head tube, and a logo lock up badge between BD + OPEN on the seat tube.



So extra. So limited.



One of the most beautiful cooperation we ever did. Only one downside available only to ship from the USA. It can be ordered trough the Betty website here.

Absolutely beautiful. Was on to this as soon as the email landed. All medium gone! Heartbreaker. Can you not get them to squeeze a few more into the production run?

Call Contender bikes in Salt Lake City, they’ll likely be able to get you one.

Dear Roger, please get in contact with Kristin and we can see then together what we can do. The problem is this paint job took 8 months. I am not talking about making the frame just painting and lead-times are not getting shorter. Send me a mail also so I could then reply you directly also once I have an update from Kristin

I probably need to get with Kristin- but the order part on her website kept jamming when i got on to try to order at 9am Friday when they “dropped”! Long day short (multiple times trying to order) they sold out of medium!????
Do U still have medium frames you can paint with Betty logos?? (Crazy she only did 3 med)
I like to ride on a bike on “bigger side- my current bike tgat fits fine is 54 - how much smaller would a small be??
Tganjs for your help!

54cm (for pretty much any brand, any model) is definitely a Medium, unfortunately.

Hi Kara, best would be to contact Kristin and she then coordinates with me. She has the overview of all the orders. Hope we can help you. Take care

Andy, thank you so much to your team for finding a few more frames for painting. Kristin was in touch and we have one secured. I can see how this colab thing can get addictive when its art on wheels. When the next beauty comes along we'll do it all over again, swap the kit over, and hang this frame on the wall.

This bike makes me wish Betty Design would bring back their men's clothing line.

Hi Karl, she would be just at the limit. If she has currently another road bike where she fits send me a mail and I ask you for some more details.
