They're both gorgeous, but my preference is for the purple, for three purely subjective reasons. 1. I just don't like green. Some greens are OK, and there's an exception to every rule (Atlantii, for example, have their own funky appeal). 2. Some metallic or metallic-leaning colors are just a li

The 'agapanthus purple', 'lavendar', 'lilac' Saluki is a gorgeous bike. Honestly the color really grew on me the longer I had the bike. But even though I grew to appreciate the color and how it stood out from pretty much all other bikes (not limited to Saluki's) it just didn't fit my taste for my

I love to see the first-litter Salukis! Mine is number 77, Riv Red, and has a pewter badge. I like green, but green has been the new black for me since about 1980. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this g

Green for me like my Quickbeam, The light purple doesn't do anything for me personally. Yet I have a giant purple metallic Nobilette too. This inquiry makes me want another frame and color variety. Thanks n+1 again. Ryan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Gro

I'll play. I prefer greens and blues generally, as colors go. Turquoise has always been a fascinating color for me, as is the seam foam of the Atlantis. I've never been drawn to purple - depending on the shade for me it ranges from indifferent to unpleasant. But, at the risk of splitting hai
