Agreed. I've realized since having it that it's indeed a very un-Riv color. The closest I can think of off the top of my head is the copper color that certain Legolas models were painted years back. But it's lovely in person and a great match for the cream highlights and AHH graphics.
I purchased it from Bill Lindsay here on the group back in...2019, I think? If I remember the story correctly, he was selling it for a friend who was an executive at Starbucks. On a visit to RBW headquarters, the coffee-brown frame was hanging up on the wall. And it seemed like the universe telling him to get it. Did I get that roughly right, Bill?
