[RBW] Re: custom color opinion wanted
On my recent custom frame acquisition, I asked the framebuilder/ painter to paint it whatever color he thought would be nice, and assured him that I'd be happy with it. He seemed kinda nervous about it, but ended up choosing a great color that I wouldn't have normally considered. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Not a Riv, but there is a connection: http://www.flickr.com/photos/twowheelflight/3277222915/ We often do makeovers on old bikes, which sometimes include a basic powdercoating job. In general, I refuse to get involved in color selection, and insist that the customer takes care of that part of the process. I'd hate to have to spring for an extra powdercoating because I misinterpreted the customer's desired color and/or mistranslated it into the wrong powder color. My advice is to ride and smile.

Another wow, I really like that color vote. It'd look very nice with an aged honey Brooks or the antique brown. I've mellowed a bit in my color tastes for bikes. I fall more in the camp of ride the snot out of the bike for a couple of years, enjoy it, scratch it, get it dirty and then send it out for a repaint somewhere down the line. I think it's much easier in the bike world to define what you want based on the experience of knowing what you don't want.

Looks much like the Eddy orange. Add some blue and love it. That is a sweet color. But only if you like it, eh? Paint is hard to get spot on w/o a mfg and their color code.

Wow, thanks for all the feedback. No one thinks its at all flat or drab? Without depth or interest? I know its just a color, not a personality... I admit my opinion is clouded with dissapointment, just cause ive lusted for a butterscotch Rivendell since i first saw one. Years later, i put in the order, wait a month, then get a call saying its been painted wrong, and it cant be done right. Im having a hard time seeing the frame in its own context, i suppose. All that, and Grant says he doesnt like it, which is hard to overcome. After hearing what yall have to say about it, i might just go for it... Though i never thought myself an Orange Bike Guy. Thanks again for the responses! ~Stephen On Apr 25, 11:38 pm, Stephen recycle...@gmail.com wrote: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37778...@n07/ Hi there, I ordered an AHH in Saluki Butterscotch, and this is how it turned out. Im not stuck with it, just that its going to be a headache choosing a new color (Grant said hes done attempting Butterscotch), and more waiting, and and and... I think I want to convince myself that i like this melon creamcicle color... What do you all think? ~Stephen --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
