I got my poster today, as I was out traveling last week. Everyone who has posted so far has had nothing bad to say about it, so it feels that many in the bunch feel that nothing that comes out of RBW has any flaws at all.
While I like the poster, and do not regret buying it sight unseen, I can't say that it is what I expected it would be. I didn't look at the artist's website so I had no preconceived notions except for what my own sense of excitement at the mention of Rivendell. Since those who have not bought it yet can actually see what it's about on the Blug section, I'm going to be a bit more specific in my comments: I like it, but am not overwhelmed by it. What does bother me, though, is seeing the boys foot/shoe showing under the tire. Aesthetically (or whatever term is appropriate) it bugs me because my mind questions how can that be possible. Is he lifting the bike? Doesn't seem so, did then someone rolled the bike over his foot? Doesn't seem so either as the bike doesn't seem to be tilted up. Anyway... Other than that detail, I believe that like almost all of the RBW frame colors (with the except of the Hunqapillar gray) the more I look at it, the more it will grow on me. That is, unless the issue with the foot under the wheel also makes me more and more uncomfortable... Can anyone come up with my explanation that allows me to go "Aha!!!" and makes the whole foot thing make sense? At least if I end up not liking it at all, I paid the lowest price by buying it unseen. I do like RBW's price escalation scheme as it supports us wild risk takers... :-D Hope no one gets mad at me for this post...
