[Toshi Takeuchi]

Yes, that elvish green is very fast when paired with Legolas, and maroon
Roadeo looks ready for gravel.

Re: [RBW] Opinions re Roadeo colors

[Toshi Takeuchi]

Yes, I'm very fortunate to have some beautiful bikes.  My daughter just
turned 14 (the picture is quite old).  She rides a ~42 cm cross check
("ugly brown bike" according to her) and is demanding that I get her a
beautiful Betty Foy like her mom's bike (she is threatening to just steal
that bike).  Maybe a Platy is calling in a few years.

Ryan, that's a beautiful bike.  I originally wanted my Roadeo to have a
darker Bing cherry color, but after all these years I've had the bike, I'm
sure that I'm actually faster with this hotter red color.  I can't argue

Re: [RBW] Opinions re Roadeo colors

[Ryan]

I do like green and Harvest Gold or mustard to you clem owners and I really 
like maroon with cream; one of the Roadeos had that maroon/cream colour 
scheme that I thought looked elegant and understated. 

I like maroon so much I had my 2016  custom mixte painted in that colour. 

Back to the wayback machine for the work-in-process minus Brooks Select and 
drivetrain...but you get the idea

https://www.rivbike.com/blogs/grant-petersens-blog/good-reads-jr  

This was of course when I was still gainfully employed as a software 
developer and decided I should buy myself a nice retirement 
present...so...let's just say I pretty much went full out with the 
build...however the bike needs a seatpost with more setback ...so...for my 
birthday I ordered a lugged seatpost to replace  the S83 it already has.

Have fun with this.  I went through the same exercise.  Each of these 
suggestion thus far have merit and a certain flair.

I went with the conservative, classic and relatively rare maroon and

Re: [RBW] Opinions re Roadeo colors

[Kushan]

Rivendell used to have a AHH color called Copper Metallic 
. Why they 
stop carrying this color is beyond me. If I were to have any of my bikes 
repainted, it would be this color scheme.

Re: [RBW] Opinions re Roadeo colors

[Matt Beecher]

There are not enough purple bikes, though I read a post a while back where 
Rivendell recognized that.  I have a purple Saluki and a purple XO-2.  The 
purple Saluki is one of my favorites and made the rounds before I got it.  

Here is a previous owner of my Saluki, for the color.

Re: [RBW] Opinions re Roadeo colors

British Racing Green, or a shade lighter, with a complementary off-white
downtube panel.

Classic, and goes nicely with tanwall tires and honey shaded B.17s.

I love both seeing and imagining bicycle paint jobs. Want to make my wife
laugh? See a car color you like, and say to her “Wouldn’t that make a great
downtube panel?”
