Funny, I've read comments on this color (was it officially called "yellowish green?") for several years on this list. People love it or hate it. I've read comparisons to diaper contents for example. Mine is this color, and I like it. It sparkles in the sun, which doesn't seem to show well in pictures. I had thought though that when repaint time comes I'd like to try the wonderful claret wine red I've seen in Jim's gallery, or now lately the persimmony mix that looks so nice. That decision is a few years off however. The '95 Road will be 1st up I think. Staying with the original blue, but do I go for a cream head tube or not? hmmmm
Unrelated to green paint, but while we are on the Saluki subject: Mine has had Oursons on for a few years, and despite racks and fenders and Baggins bags front and rear, rides about the same speed as anything else I get on. Looking at the numbers this year, it has more miles than any of my other 3 bikes, but all are reasonably close. It has a very nice riding position for a long day in the saddle. A ride you can still get on the Hilsen, of course.

Nice color there, too. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
