My favorite is whatever that last iteration of the butterscotchy orange color was on the Sam release from a few years ago (2021?). 2nd would be good ‘ol Riv Blue (and I’m not even a big fan of the color blue, but I love it on Rivendells).On Jun 1, 2024, at 7:17 PM, Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote:This.
