I can see some resemblance.

+1 on all that. Tuxedo Sam looks wonderful, with work-boot RnR to go.
I think the Shimano canti spacers are terrific. I wish I could buy an extra
set for these sorts of things. IIRC, Sean Hipkin used those in a Roadeo
build to space the rear fender.

I felt the same way about black Rivs. It was a black-n-cream Roadeo that
started to change my mind, in a 'peeking thru the knothole' years back.
That fender slice job is surgical. Wow. 80% of people who look at those
I always liked the looks of this Atlantis frame:

That is a beauty, and a really beautiful fender install, but isn't running
Rock 'n' Roads w/o much fender clearance just tempting fate?
Maybe the owner will just be cruising the sands of Saudia Arabia, but that
little fender clearance gives me the heeby jeebies!
Perhaps it's just me...I knew
Well, I live in California and my commuter is a Fiat 500. Your results may vary

Would be cool if that was yours!!! I had an MB-2 and while it was great,
always liked the color on the 1. I can see the greenish tint coming through
on those photos. Like it!

Gorgeous bike. Tough but cuddly.
That is a drawback of R559/Silvers; they intrude upon fender space and push
the front tip downwards into the tire. Paul Racers fixed that for me (any
centerpull would work).
Mark's modification is pretty slick. I've considered splitting the rear
fender
I agree with you, John..I largely eschew fenders for just that reason. I do
have a folding 'rain bike' with big-clearance fenders for those types of
jaunts, but I mostly ride my fenderless bikes.

I had one of those MB-1's (actually those scratches and the size look
awfully familiar), and it was really more grey/green than black when the
sun hit it. Very pretty, and I pity anyone trying to match that exact
metallic shade. My standard answer for what to call the color was I don't
know!
