Hi, That's mine. The color was selected by my wife from the Dupont Fleet Color chart JB gave me. I didn't tell Grant & company that I changed the color, and they freaked when the frame was delivered to RBW. They thought JB messed up. But they were happy to charge me an extra $50 for custom color. I got my bike in 6-months. When I ordered it they were at a slow time (after 9/11). So RBW was telling me 6-8 weeks for delivery. Then Joe Stark quit building frames, and all his work load went to Curt, hence the increased time. I got it Feb 03. I've met and know several custom Rivendell owners in the LA area, each one of them were disappointed about the wait time; I think this is why so many RBW frames are mass produced now, and the push for customs is off.
I'm very happy with mine, and the 6-mo wait was not so bad. But I wish I got a 57cm rather than a 55cm. Cheers!
