I do not own a purple Riv but would in a heartbeat if I needed another bike. Dead sexy!

I've got the Appaloosa in purple and it's been lovely. I've been
sticking with white, gold/brass and silver accessories and it really
pops. I agree, though, it's definitely a very polarizing color. I have
never debated what color bike to get more than I did this one. I'm glad I
got what I did, though. I'm considering a Platypus and need a 60cm frame only. I love the Sergio Green but those are sold out. I too was trying to visualize how I could build it. I was thinking it would look really awesome with Paul Moto-Lites and Love Levers in the Pewter finish. . I feel like I should trust my instincts on this one and maybe wait for the next batch of frames. I want to love the color because I want the bike to be a keeper.
I just went and rode the purple test bike at Riv the other day. I had not really considered a purple bike but I liked it better than I thought. However it is a bit of a polarizing color... I started to figure out how I would make that purple color work for me, but I doubt I could convince my boyfriend to ride it in public. It's dark enough that I bet you could tone the impact down by adding some anodized parts in a neutral... or you could consider what I did with my last Platypus... I had it painted my favorite color.

Curious what folks think of the Riv frames in purple. I personally am on the fence. I keep looking at it and can't decide if I would like it or not. I would be perfectly fine with any of the other Riv colors but the purple is a bit polarizing to me. Of course I am betting it looks great in person. Thoughts?
