Agreed. The first Rivendell I ever saw in person was that understated, yet kaptivating (my "see" key is not working on this old keyboard today...) Sage Green. Under the lights at the first Interbike I ever attended. I heard glorious harmony at that moment and it has stayed in my soul sin

The stays were aftermarket, when Dave Porter swapped the verticals for 1010s and moved the brake bridge. A bit of serendipity for the aesthetics. On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 8:47 AM, Bruce Herbitter wrote: > Okay, not Saluki green. Nice treatment of the stays too. > > > On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 9:37 AM

Ahh..sage green. I will either a buy a Riv that color someday, or have one painted such. I saw/rode Ray Varella's sage green Rivendell some years ago in Vallejo, and it was just gorgeous. On Tuesday, April 9, 2013 6:44:46 AM UTC-7, Patrick Moore wrote: > I wish I'd kept a note of the blue wit

No, not the Glen Frye song... RBW has certainly had some really nice blues over the years. The Ram blue mentioned in a previous thread is French Blue, as close as I can see. Since there is a forest in France named Rambouillet as well as a sheep breed, makes sense. The Road and Romulus had a simila
