More precicely, it's the Nitto R20 "Mt Campee" rear rack. It is supposedly meant for 26er touring bikes, but it fits 650b + fenders with plenty of clearance . Riv's "Big Back Rack Medium" 32R is very simi

Ah, so yes! Pea soup green, pewter, or pick your own--especially if it hadn't been painted yet. The upgraded head badges came in bronze or pewter; otherwise they were cloisonné. The butterscotch Salukis are so pretty. The Salukis are so pretty. -- You received this message because you are sub

I've owned this one since January 2011 ... am the second owner. It's the caliper/CP type and is figured to be of the first or second run. The original owner described the color as "Caramel" and offered this for explanation: *This frames set has a little history--it is the very first caramel Sa

Re: [RBW] Re: FS 54 Saluki

Thank you. I remembered incorrectly. So many of you original buyers at the time did such a good job taking Riv up on their offer to paint in other colors that it erased my memory of a default color. And that pea sage is a beaut as well. And so is the butterscotch. In fact, I've never seen a Salu

Re: [RBW] Re: FS 54 Saluki

Hi Jim, I have one of the very first run myself, and so I can verify that there was a stock color sage/pea soup green--but so many came in unpainted that folks very often got to choose their own color or got them perhaps before Riv chose the color. I went with Riv red and canti's, not centerpull

Re: [RBW] Re: FS 54 Saluki

I remember the first batches not having one color; buyers had many choices. The only stock color it ever had was the butterscotch, and that came later. I remember admiring the colors of the early ones on this list: a burgundy (Steve P's?), some beautiful greens, sage pea and a Coleman. I think I

That's one the original runs of salukis before they changed the decals to script. Was that from the second batch? The first batch were kind of a sage/pea green stock color. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe fro
