Hi Garth, I know what you mean. Just looking at my pics, the dark grey seems quite a bit lighter in some shots, and more like what it really looks like in others. It's a dark steelish grey and not dull at all in real life...quite attractive, especially when set against the kidney bean red wit

Re: [RBW] Hunqapillar, interesting fork detail

ite a few Riv bike owners like the option of being able to move their rear rack to the front on occasion...or they like the size and shape of a particular rear rack, to be used as a front rack(perhaps to fit a specific pack). Having those fork crown mounts really opens up the possibilities.
