I was joking around. I still think BRG is a boring color for a bicycle, but the color of the bike is not super important to me. Even though BRG is my least favorite color, a beautiful bike in BRG is still beautiful. If you gave me 100 different color choices to paint a frame, and BRG was one of the 100, it would be near the bottom of the list. A Pudge-built Riv always has plenty of eye candy for me that I can ignore the color of the paint.
