The custom one is my favourite.Think I might have asked you a long time ago what colours yours is, and I think you told me yellow. My 2001 Riv Road is Harvest Gold. In certain light it looks like a dark yellow,other light more of a greeny mustardy colour like curry powder . One day I'll weigh it. One day I may even photograph it, except that it's worthy of the photographic talents of others on this list. One thing that I've noticed about Rivs, though, is that they seem to ride lighter than the avoirdupois would suggest On Wednesday, August 13, 2014 5:33:02 PM UTC-5, spru...@gmail.com wrote:
