Yes, that elvish green is very fast when paired with Legolas, and maroon Roadeo looks ready for gravel. Toshi On Wed, Dec 8, 2021 at 2:40 PM Brian Campbell wrote: > Let's see if this works: > > https://photos.app.goo.gl/utN4Zjcr5r6xhvVv6 > > On Wednesday, December 8, 2021 at 3:37:19 PM UTC-5

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).

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 with the fact that orange is the fastest color though.

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

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 battleship grey: https://www.flickr.com/gp/41563482@N06/60vu9a Whatever the color, these are great

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. On Monday, December 6, 2021 at 2:16:16 PM UTC-8

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.

I’m ALL in on green bikes (or shades of green) with my Russian Sub Green Atlantis and Sage Green Sam. If I were getting a custom or having a Rodeo repainted, it’d HAVE to be green with cream accents. No question. Ben, who would argue it is quite easy being green, in Omaha Sent from my iPad >

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
