Ted, your “new” ProtoBleriot is going to be stunning! Looking forward to seeing pics of the finished bike. I came to the Rivendell party after the Bleriot was out of production. Tried to buy one locally but the seller was waffling on the sale and backed out. Still one of my favorite Rivendells.

Rona TD, How did you like the clearcoat? They always look cool. But I have read some complaints about them not wearing well. How was it for you? Nice idea for the extra braze-ons! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscr

RonaTD, Love the paint job. Metallic in bike paint is so nice looking in the sunshine!! Your color does remind me of root beer! Very nice. Looks great against the decals! Can you confirm if your protovelo originally had bleriot decals and if the tubing/geo specs are the same as the production
