There may be now, but back in 2002 when the orange Rambouillets came out, there was no program for custom colors for an upcharge. That was introduced with the Saluki's in 2005: the standard colors were pewter and olive, but for around $50 more I was able to get mine painted Fairway Green. In the case of the bike we're discussing, it was retrofitted with S&S couplers. You have to cut the frame to do that, and in doing so you damage the paint. It's often very difficult to match paint (impossible in the case of orange Rambouillets) so I imagine the original owner had the bike repainted in a color of his or her choice. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
