Re: [RBW] Re: The Official Introduction of RoadeoRosa

To me it looks like Baker-Miller pink, aka “Drunk Tank Pink:” Baker-Miller pink en.wikipedia.org Maybe Bill is seeking to deescalate road rage? I’m in the process of having a custom built, and the paint scheme is an homage to my old 1968 VW Beetle in Royal Red. The bike is decidedly un-Riv though (one might even say anti-Riv) so maybe not appropriate for further discussion in this forum.
