Thanks Paul - the red is a custom color. I wanted something as similar to 
'Rad Red' that Richard Sachs was using a few years ago. There was supposed 
to be a hint of pink that didn't really come through, but i'm happy with it 
nonetheless. 

It was the result of buying a blem frame from Rivendell and deciding I was 
going to make it my own. I think it started it's life as an orange bike 
originally.

Enjoying this thread.

Curious about the conti race kings. Those are 2.0s and they fit? Or am I 
missing something?

I've used Cazadero 50s and they cleared, but I didn't like them enough and 
missed fenders. I'm always curious about other tires in that range though.

I'll put a pic up eventually, but mine has RH hurricane ridge/Snoqualmie 
pass, VO zeppelin fenders and the widest towel racks. I'm enjoying that 
combo. I just added a nitto 34f and am not minding it, but haven't tried 
really loading it down yet.

Love these photos, and the contrasts in builds.  I have a Roadini (2 weeks 
old)...maybe a Sam will be in my future.

The one that got away…
My first Riv, a 64, purchased after convincing myself I didn’t need a 68 
Bombadil for another grand and change. I loved it, I broke it, and was 
devastated. Happily, I got to talk to Richard Schwinn about getting it 
fixed!, which was awesome. And so it came back to me, better than new, but 
I sold it for a song to a nice fella who uses it a lot.(btw, I’d buy it 
back in a heartbeat!螺)
