Jim S asked something about shades of white. I don't know which photos of which bikes you are referring to, but my cream with red Roadeo has the same cream color as the head tube of my other Rivendells. At least close enough that they appear identical to me. I imagine there may be an actual WHITE Rivendell photographed on the internet somewhere. The two photos I linked in my initial response were:
1. a shot of my own cream and red Roadeo. I think the cream looks cream, especially when compared with the WHITE HED logo on the rims. 2. a shot of my own Amethyst Smoke with cream Legolas. The cream of that headtube matches the cream of my cream and Red Roadeo. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Friday, December 10, 2021 at 6:14:28 AM UTC-8 Jim S. wrote: > Thanks for all the responses.
