Thanks for posting. I like the Saluki badges. Never seen the gold one up 
close before. Very nice.

Brass--the pewter was a dullish silvery-grey.

 I have the very first butterscotch Saluki--custom colors were available for
 a modest up charge in the first run of frames.  I wanted something similar
 to the harvest gold color offered on customs, maybe a bit richer, with a
 little more brown, and after a few email exchanges, Grant came up with that
 color for me.  He like it so well he made it the standard color for
 subsequent runs--not entirely a new shade for Rivendell; it is very nearly
 the same color as one of my early WoolyWarm jerseys...

Yep, the first batch or three of 'Luki's had the option of either
centerpulls or cantis.  Superlong reach tektro/silver sidepulls came
along a bit later...

PS. I have SA-01 and my bike has that same rear centered cable hanger. 
Plays nice with Paul Racer centerpulls. My decal uses a different font. 
Interesting.

The badge is a modified version of one of two cast Saluki badges. You can 
see the original in this photo:
