            1974 Gus Betat Frame SN 4095   NOT MY BIKE

Gus Betat & Sons (pronounced BEE-tat) was a retail and wholesale bicycle business located in New Orleans, LA.. They operated a number of retail bike shops in the New Orleans area.

They opened in 1896 and lasted about 100 years making Gus Betat one of the oldest continuously operating bike shops in the US.

During the 1960s and 70s they were a large importer of Italian made bikes and components. The Viner brand bikes were one example.

The Gulotta Family owned the business. From the late 1960s to the mid-1970 Doug Haddock and Greg Gulotta built about 300 custom framesets using Reynolds 531, Columbus and Super Vitus tubing. Their frames were very well made with clean cosmetics.

This example is made of probably made of Columbus SP or Super Vitus tubing and weighs about 3000 grams with Campy BB and headset cups. The seat tube is 59 cm C-T-C with a 56 cm C-T-C top tube. The rear spacing is 120 mm and there are no braze-ons.

Gus Betat advertised that they could turn out a frame in one month’s time. This frame was made in November, 1974.

These photos were originally posted by the previous owner Bill Kloos. The bike currently resides in Portland, OR with it’s new owner.
