Aha. Thanks for the clarification. So this means that my current (summer,
2020) road bike may be the culmination of the trend starting with the XOs
and passing through the All Rounder, but diverted toward road/pavement

Beautiful, John. Timeless bike! And I actually prefer the single color
paint jobs from the earlier Rivs, I had a light blue Road that I sold that
was a single color. I now have an early AR also, but it has a contrasting
cream head tube, and I think it makes it a little foppish.

Nice comments, thanks. Color official name os golden olive, and that it
is. Little metallic, little pearl sheen to it. Don’t think cream would be

Room for fenders. Tektro 720 cantis. Still dialing

John, that's lovely. I can't read the tires' labels (generally I hate
over-logo-ing, but I advise RH to make their labels bigger) but are your

Elk Pas
such a classic! i really get nostalgic about this era of Rivendell. any
idea what this color is? it seems like it was somewhat common on rivs from

The All Rounder came to me from the original owner who had lots of
documentation, ordered in 1995, delivered in January 1996. Will continue
to evolve components, working towards Shimano 8-speed index, enjoying the
Gevenalle shifter pods.
Hope this link works.
