I own a brg Bob Jackson w gold lug lining. I like green bikes and BRG especially, but imo lug lining detracts from the beauty of the lugs. I'd like the bike much more if it was a more simple paint job. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

Thanks all for being such a great sounding board! I reached out to the painters about British Racing Green options (single color paint job - no cream head tube). I’m open to a subtle metallic version. I also asked for a quote on gold lug lining. More soon. -- You received this message because

Bark brown looks great on a bike, and would accentuate the gold and cream bat-wing decals nicely. +1 regarding no contrasting headtube. On Saturday, June 13, 2020 at 10:36:22 AM UTC-4, Birdman wrote: > > Hey Bunch, > > The bottom bracket shell replacement on my Quickbeam is going well and

And I will add - adding to what Bill said about what I said - that in the end we are just sounding boards. It's YOUR bike and you get to paint it YOUR color. My friend I said was my sounding board, the one I badgered for months and we discussed a bunch of different ideas? At the last minute I pi

When I think "Quickbeam" I think metallic silver. When I think "Quickbeam, but the other color" then I think orange. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Saturday, June 13, 2020 at 8:48:55 PM UTC-7, Joe Bernard wrote: > > But green kills on a Quickbeam. It's almost *supposed* to be that color.

As long as we're dreaming I vote for the QB decals (no cream headtube) on my Dove Gray without the red. When I designed the scheme on my bike I was really into the red and saw the gray as kind of a backdrop for it. Now that I've lived with it a while I've really grown enamored of the gray itself

Ha, After just seeing Christopher Murray’s HunqaGreen QB I think I retract my “no cream headtube with cream QB badge statement” but now knowing there’s one currently out there in that exact color scheme I’m not sure if seeing it and wanting to duplicate it exactly outweighs the desire to paint m

A much longer answer to why I posted my bike's colors: I found that having the option of doing whatever color(s) I wanted was actually kind of paralyzing and took a lot of time..there's too many! I had a friend as a sounding board for ideas, which is similar to what this thread is..that was hel

Hey Issac, I like your thinking on the green! Its a good homage to both Quickbeam the bike and the Tree. A cream color to match the background of the detail would be very nice and in line with riv paint schemes. In the end its your bike and it will be great whatever you end up doing. Christi
