Mayhap they will be warmer than metal pedals in winter?

At least once on the Blug Grant indicated that they were doing a special
rack for that crown. He did not hint at what kind of rack it would be.

Another highlight for me is the pedals. I think they said they would be
plastic, but they look exactly like thin gripsters. Plastic pedals with
nice bearings and nice robust grippy pins might be really good.

If you like old school mountain bikes (I do) then every way they updated
that idea is pretty sweet. Those fork crowns! I'm hoping to see a rack
mounting that actually uses the crown braze-ons?

I wonder if that blue isn't more French and less green in real life, but in
either case, great color.
The stamped logo on the S!lver crank is a really nice touch.
Interesting they spec'd the Deore LX instead of the Altus. Wonder if that
was the spoils of price point.

The 650B tire model on the 51cm Appaloosa (now posted on the BLUG) looks to
be called the "KENDA Kranium". That's pretty funny

Dork Disc - I like it!
I also really like the mustard colour - especially when darkened by the
underexposed photography. There's something mid-century modern about it.

Actually, I like the dark mustard/dirty banana colour a lot...so much so
that my 2001 Road was painted that colour, though at the time it was called
Harvest Gold.If you remember the 70's colour scheme of avocado, harvest
gold and brick/terra-cotta , you can imagine some of the grief I endured.
ditto, those silver cranks look great. blue turned out great.

PDK is right: Riv pic uploads tend to run dark and dull -- hmm, maybe
that's a trick they employ to make the first time you behold one in real
life seem all the more special? ('cause for sure, they rarely seem to not
pick good colors there) -- anyway, I'm thinking maybe my company should

Kenda Kwik Bitumens? They're like Schwalbe's Delta Cruiser commuter tires,
is my impression. One of my boss's Cannondale Quick wears them too, so,
Riv's not the only one speccing them. Nothing specia
I think those blug photos make the dirty banana color (my name for
their "mustard") look much darker than it actually is. If you check my
photos from when I took a test ride
(https://www.flickr.com/photos/phlatphrog/albums/72157663735364022)
you can see a range of light/dark. I think the photos whe
@ Kieran:
Those are jokingly called "dork discs". But I think they are great for
protecting spokes. Very functional. But I would only want a clear one on my
bike.
As for the colors, I like both. Though I will say that I think an earthy
color matches the name "Appaloosa" better than the light bl
wow they look great. if i could sell 2 bikes i'd buy it!

Sounds good. I've got similar plans for orange Newbaums. And a new Brooks B17
for it too! I wonder which length cranks will come on my 58. I'm not too picky
tho, I've got 171 Herse's one one bike and 175s on the other two...

I am pretty pumped as well. I'm elated that I chose the mustard for

Woot! Woot! They arrived a few days early. I think that what they seem to now

holding on to those tires for future fendered tours. But I've got
Wut is up with that big goofball spoke protector on the rear hub? Is Riv

Kwik Bitumen.. conjures "Keystone Kruiser XL" and "Tarsander" as possible
alternates.
