The frame will be made in Taiwan, "minimalist paint", no headbadge, and I guess the downtube/seattube decals will be minimalist as well. I like the idea of a "beater Rivendell" a lot..something simple and understated from the company of fancy paint-and-lugs is a neat idea. I say paint it Mark's Grey - like the Hunqapillar but without the red/white - and put a creme RBW triangle on the seattube, the name of the bike on the headtube, and leave the downtube bare.
