This has been my favorite-of-all-time bike for the last 5+ years or so. It was originally clear powdercoat direct from Rivendell with the older Protovelo decals. Bilenky did the repaint, added the couplers, paul racer braze-ons, modded the stem, and added campy style cable guides to the bottom bracket. The rack, fenders, and hub shells were powdercoated locally. I bought this as a frame and fork and had been johnny cashing it one piece at a time for quite a while. I think it is currently at peak-bling. I'm about to put drops back on it so I figured I'd snap some pictures. The color is light minty green in the daytime and looks almost glow-in-the-dark at night.
This bike has been ridden hard since I got it - daily commuter, tours, camping, etc. - its never let me down. My previous bike was a Schwinn Suburban so this was a bit of an upgrade. No speedometer though :) <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-A6ZUDraBg74/WAUlXRPRKUI/AAAAAAAAAMI/1uBYoL9fBaoy352FuVJAy5KIw1Z4hsWuACLcB/s1600/DSCF8701.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rH2FC7OlF-o/WAUler0UsnI/AAAAAAAAAMM/pnjc4e1fOx0n-7msech5KpQohwzL91LOwCLcB/s1600/DSCF8703.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xqv3l3Je07c/WAUllJSZopI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/-UF55MXA17I2eY6nyT58jMCRYc4sa6S5gCLcB/s1600/DSCF8707.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eVRs0G5kE7k/WAUlqq61XKI/AAAAAAAAAMU/VP3Wq65pJN0M0sfg0sws6Gtauvv4VWbyACLcB/s1600/DSCF8708.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-M1Z1rtVgxYk/WAUmTAY8vGI/AAAAAAAAAMY/3qssYzcODmgR5LQT2Z3wAnhfKa_xV6_eACLcB/s1600/DSCF8709.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O-zuUwDyhAM/WAUmX2-N8vI/AAAAAAAAAMc/bBA5wN07eaQhOlvtlSZZXGIq7UpT2s0ywCLcB/s1600/DSCF8711.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JQoJ5DOJpyc/WAUmc2kbgsI/AAAAAAAAAMg/xxJuS2eAfwghP2AnAcfMR0sKrZuV5bIpgCLcB/s1600/DSCF8721.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-brvmO5lyeOM/WAUmgCx2BUI/AAAAAAAAAMk/_hgxoho0wpw0ARPu2lwAoEZL_Owa9os9ACLcB/s1600/DSCF8724.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VBu6j2JOz5g/WAUmkZHBTWI/AAAAAAAAAMo/OBrFmR9JDbIg4PEdzT6ieKGWaZRhxvlagCLcB/s1600/DSCF8725.jpg> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
