Glad to know I'm not perceived as a pest as I know it was a true challenge to design. As Grant put it to me, it was like trying to fit four balls into three-anda-half holes. What an outa-the-ballpark hit, eh? I'm still astounded! Every picture just gets better! (And thanks to Keven for talking about his Appaloosa and for saying, "Stick with saying you want 55 tires; Grant can do it.")
On the not-a-mixte point: I am a fan of mixtes to be sure, but being a died-in-the-wool (where did that expression come from anyway?) tomboy all my life, I just couldn't do it. Hats off to all the mixte-riding men out there (in addition to the women). On the color scheme: as I've previously written, it'll be a beautiful warm green (matched to my 1940-era BSA wool shirt) that had input from all the present Rivsters when I was out in March. We looked at color chips in nice bright sun and I'm trusting Mark and JB to dial it in. And, as per Grant, "any color headtube as long as it's cream." I also elected to have a "fancy" paint job meaning cream accents in nice luggy places. As a side note, my protobleriot is a sandblasted clearcoat and is beautiful; I've just always wanted this color of a bike.
