Re: [RBW] Frame color!

[Patrick Moore]

I should know soon; Chauncey didn't seem too worried about actually getting
it, just said that they were currently out. But I've got "slightly
bluer-than-Herse blue" and industrial green as fallbacks (thanks, lists).

Patrick, 
When will they let you know if they can get the sage? Is it just a question of 
how long you're willing to wait? (Sorry if I missed this detail)

Re: [RBW] Frame color!

[Patrick Moore]

The blue and the 2 greens are pretty. I have in mind a blue that is very
slightly darker; though who can tell when I look with my eyes at a color on
a screen. But when I had my Herse powdercoated, the blue seemed slightly
more cerulean and had a wonderful "liquid" appearance. As for the greens, I
prefer -- for "real" greens and not sage green -- a darker shade the "road
bike for dirt" is British racing green, but I also like that industrial
green that someone suggested.

If you like Herse blue, you might like RAL6034, the powder coat color I 
chose for this bike:

Funny how particular one's preferences are for frame colors. I am far

In order of preference -- and see! This exercise did help me choose!

Now you know what the next two bikes are going to look like!

Re: [RBW] Frame color!

[Robert Tilley]

  I love my sage green Riv but the 2nd choice for me was the color Riv used to call their "standard" color. It was that metallic light blue/silver. I always thought that looked good. Not sure if that could be done with powder though.I really like the blue/grey color on bikes and it has been on a few autos lately. Like the Subaru color they call "cool gray khaki". That one looks really good in person and I think it would look great on a bike frame.I agree yellow is a bad choice for bikes. I own two due to either no other color option or it being the lesser of two evils. Yellow bikes really show any dirt or grease on the frame.Robert TilleySan Diego, CA Sent from my BlackBerry - the most secure mobile device   From: bertin...@gmail.comSent: April 18, 2020 7:56 AMTo: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.comReply-to: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.comSubject: [RBW] Frame color!
