I told Jay and Keven we'd send photos along of the new Betty they both worked with us on. Here's the little url (holler if I pasted it wrong):
http://tinyurl.com/3vphhf6 Bike has got a cool color, lime gold metallic, just this side of weird. We've decided we really like it. Bike came in late February. Have had a hard time getting my wife to sit still on it long enough to take a photo _ in four weeks she was transformed from a both-feet-on- the-ground newbie to a 20-mile-a-day fanatic. I think she takes it out so much just because she knows she's going to turn heads when she rides by on it. It's the most talked about mixte in Mobile. Color's the most unusual element, but it was one of the first Rivs to use the new cream SKS fenders, and the match is sweet, as you'll see. Has a Keven double up front and 8 speed on the back (a great choice for this bike, I think), rapid rise rear derailleur, and the ultra cheap SunRace shifters with the fake indexing, which work about as well as any friction shifter I've used. Soma New Xpress 38mm on Velocity. Albatross and cork. Bonus photos of my 6,000-mile-old Saluki, which I never managed to post before. An interesting custom color, kind of burnt orange persimmony, mutable in the changing light. It's become my workhorse, my everyday commuter, my long miles bike. And photos of the largest assemblage of Rivendells ever recorded in Mobile, beside the old Iron Deer (it is what it is) and beneath the spooky oaks of Old Mobile. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
