Wow, where did *these* guys come from? That's a pretty extensive line of city and cargo bikes.

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Rip-off?
It's a colorway people. It's not trademarked by Riv or anyone as far as I can tell and it isn't hurting the brand or image of Riv (the only way Riv could contest the issue). As previously stated it appears to be an inspiration point for a company trying to push cycling as a lifestyle choice for urban and suburban living in the USA.

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Rip-off?
There's a mythical but possibly true story that the only color Bianchi could get post WW!! was some type of blue or green that became Celeste when mixed with Italian navy gray as a way to stretch out the hard to get paint.

Re: [RBW] Re: Riv Rip-off?
Funny. When I was younger I read a novel called MIG Pilot* which was the story of Victor Belenko, the guy who defected to the U.S.A. via Tokyo with a MIG-25 back in the 1970's. The book stated that the interior of Soviet cockpits was green because their researchers thought green was the most calming color. I never quite pictured it the color of an Atlantis though. * I was a kid when I first found the book in a grocery store. Being a kid I could not afford it so I tossed it up, over and behind the bookshelf, which was probably 6 feet tall and about 15 feet wide. Several years later I got a job at that grocery store and curiosity got the better of me so pulled that shelf out and there it was!
