[RBW] Black and cream Sam on the Blug

I never thought black would be a great color on a Riv, but boy was I wrong (a while back I saw a black Hunq or Bombadil here which started to change my mind). This bike is *beautiful.* Grant says it may be an option on some models later..I'd love to see it happen. Also, check out the slick fend
