Then it would be even better - slush-o-flage! Actually like the color. But would not want to see it with a blue head tube. Too close to last century Raleigh bikes, IMO. Hmm. A black and grilver Bombadil might look extremely understated. Unless one was wearing an Oakland Raiders football jersey

Grilver . Bla . Call it like you see it. It looks like Midwest road spray on a winters day. Colors are where it's at ! There's enough grays and blacks in the bike world. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to

Actually I think a dark maroon or orange headtube would work with that bike. The cream on silver is too light. A black would also look very good. I think overall the orange was better. On Feb 23, 1:15 pm, Bill wrote: > If the head tube was painted a creme white to match the fenders, and > the sea

If the head tube was painted a creme white to match the fenders, and the seat tube decal was the same creme, it would be an outta-the- ballpark home run. It's still mighty pretty as-is. The nice thing about neutral earthy colors is that ten or fifteen years down the road they stand the test of ti

I really like the new color and the look of the fenders. I saw those fenders when I was at RBWHQ last Sept and thought they were great. The appeared thicker than the standard SKS and the cream color looked to be the actual color of the fender, not paint. Nice that they're longer. The whole bike lo

Hmm are those the new Cream SKS fenders? Are they painted or is that the color of the plastic? LOL about the fender installation fee, i agree, it's worth that much, even for the SKS ones which i think are easier then the VO/B erthoud/ Honjo ones... On Feb 22, 6:26 am, newenglandbike wrote: > We

Grilver is great. It's nice that they are changing colors (not that the orange or green weren't excellent)- it might be good to change paint on all their models every once in a while. Are those the new SKS fenders?It looks like they provide lots of coverage. -Matt -- You received th

Ah-ha! Excellent! As I am contemplating a second Sam sometime soon-ish (well, not *that* soon-ish), I am glad they are contemplating new color(s). If they do change the color then I'll get free differentiation (I was also contemplating a custom-color paint job; not having to do that would save so

I am not huge on silver, but with the cream accents and fenders it's fairly stunning. Love the bar tape color, too. Speaking of lawyers lips, I wasn't aware that ANY rivs had them. Too bad. My TaiwaSam doesn't, and I am glad. Gernot On Feb 22, 10:00 am, rcnute wrote: > I think I'm beginning to
