God that is gorgeous. Good you on for being content with a bike/frame for
so long! Cheers to another 25 years of riding.

Peter,
Your much loved and well thought out Riv Road takes my breath away! How
appropriate to have Waterford handle the restoration. Keeping it all in the
family!
I recall Grant saying how lighter colors reveal the lugs better; and
indeed, those Sachs lugs deserve to strut their stuff.
Well

are less elaborate...so they don't show upbut given those gorgeous RS
designed lugs you have, you make a really good point that the blue
highlights them well. That is a beauty!

Well I live outside Portland Maine and the weather definitely has not been
perfect ! though I did actually see some people riding outdoors today
(it hit a balmy 45 today after being -17 last Friday). Riding here is
great from April thru September though, and the summers don't get so hot.
Jock,
As additional info: Richard Sachs designed the curvey lugs for the first
RIv Roads. I didn't know that in 1995 but saw it in one of the original
catalogs. Yeah, there is definitely a difference when you turned the
wrench yourself. Been a while but it was fun. I didn't wrap the bars so
I just love the color. The original Sherwood Forest just never did it for
me, it sort of hid the nice lugs or made them less obvious. Good luck with
the restore!

Edwin,
The cost was probably about $1,100 when it was all said and done, excluding
a little extra work I had to pay for (I left the headset in and they
charged me to take it out and replace the cups and one other spot where a
bolt was stuck behind the BB where you can attach the bottom of the
Peter,
That is a beautiful bike!
Perfect job by you and Waterford.
How much did it cost to do? Because I will do that to one of my bikes one
day, and want to start saving!!
You could literally just hang that on the wall as a beautiful thing to look
at every day...
Edwin
On Thursday,
What a good story of bicycle and bicyclist! Thank you for including a
great set of photos; as everyone has said, the restoration is beautiful,
offering testimony too to Waterford as a do-it-all shop.
One of the many things I appreciate about bicycles is the long lives of
multiple use and
Peter, beautiful job, great color. I hope you enjoy the bike for many more
years.

I currently have a 1995 Riv Road at Waterford waiting to be repainted also.
Mine was originally the English Light Blue, but I haven't decided whether
to stick with that or go with a different color. Yours looks terrific,
definitely an argument for sticking with that color. Thanks for sharing.

Peter, that is a timelessly beautiful bicycle. Bravo for spending the $$
and taking the time to preserve it. IMHO, there is nothing so satisfying as
riding a bicycle you have owned and maintained for years and years. Richard
is one of our greatest treasures as he keeps on keeping on. Cycling
Wow! Beautiful restoration. I love the fact that you've owned the bike
since it's inception - and are still into it enough to lavish that much
love on it. Thanks for posting. Share some more pics. I'd love to see the
details.
