I still think the original Romulus color is one of the best there was! Here is one example when I owned it: https://www.flickr.com/photos/franklyn/324768705/in/album-72157600050554321/ I also got it repainted at one point and it turned out really well, though obviously it wasn't a stock paint j

Re: [RBW] Re: All Time Best Paint Color

My color-of-first-choice is not a Riv-offered color, but it is the color of my last remaining (out of 5) Rivendells: Ford Blue, no damned cream accents. I had a nice powdercoat done to the 1999 (about which you've heard far more than you want to hear) after C Matthews's alterations, to replace the

Re: [RBW] Re: All Time Best Paint Color

I forgot to add that the Ford Blue powdercoat on my 1999 gofast is far, far prettier than the rose on Leah's Platypus. Oh my, by far! On Fri, Sep 9, 2022 at 1:57 PM Patrick Moore wrote: > My color-of-first-choice is not a Riv-offered color, but it is the color > of my last remaining (out of 5) R

My favorite color has to be the deep purple of my original - and soon to be reincarnated custom. I will admit I am a big fan of the orange creamsicle as well. Especially now that I have an orange creamsicle Ram to look at every day. On Wednesday, September 7, 2022 at 4:08:42 PM UTC-7 Keith P. w

I am very partial to the mustard that some older Clems came in – I would immediately jump at the opportunity to buy a mustard Clem H. Also love the dark gold the recent Sams came in, and the current Homer blue. Le samedi 10 septembre 2022 à 15:23:46 UTC-7, Huston a écrit : > Many have touched o

Many have touched on these classics, which constitute 3 of my 4 favorites: Early Riv blue Toyo Atlantis green (which I call Smyrna green) Sam orange I'll throw in one more: All Rounder bronze/brown as seen here . Huston Lexington, KY On We

I think it's nearly impossible to pick an all time best color- Riv has had too many fabulous ones! My buddy who was a big-wig at Surly once said to me "Rivendell always has the best colors!" Jim in Mpls On Friday, September 9, 2022 at 9:00:07 AM UTC-5 eric...@gmail.com wrote: > Here's another

Another vote for the red-grey Hunquapillar. There was a custom cyclocross bike with the same scheme on the old Riv staff bikes that I spent too much time staring at. [image: hunq.jpg] Also a vote for the grilver Clem H. I own one, and it is a very nice, understated scheme. Goes really well wi

"Is it cheating if I say the best is this one?" It's not cheating if Grant makes Bicycle Belle Raspberry a production color. Put it on a 30th Anniversary Mixte, GP! 🙌 On Thursday, September 8, 2022 at 11:07:20 AM UTC-7 Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > [image: 5DB777E4-F431-416E-84F2-04154161C3

I still like the early Rivendell blue frames, I’m also a sucker for a nice silver. On Wednesday, September 7, 2022 at 7:08:42 PM UTC-4 Keith P. wrote: > > I've been going down the archive rabbit hole and am curious of the bunch's > thoughts (opinions). > > *What is the best factory Rivendell
