"Sam Hill Green" When we went into Riv HQ for test rides the wife wanted an Yves Gomes because she thought she wanted a black bike. I wouldn't let her pick black and Vince graciously accepted the challenge to show us frames until she picked a "real" color. He bent over backwards to drag out frame after frame from all over the shop so we could look at colors. A dozen or so frames into it the wife was still set on black. Vince had an Ah-Ha! moment and brought out a frame painted 'Sam Hill Green'. As soon as she saw it in the sun, she knew that that was the color she wanted.
It's a marvelously beautiful color. It's way too nuanced to really be captured in a photo. Depending on the light it can appear anywhere from a rich olive to almost silver. It's got sparkly flecks that make the paint look 3D. And the red tires + silver accessories set it off. It's not nearly as showy with black/gum tires. I was tempted to get my AHH in the same color but the wife was clear that we were not going to have matchy-match bikes. --Smitty -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
