Re: [RBW] Re: Orange 58cm Rambouillets Is this a Mythical Beast?

I don't think I could've handled that shade of green against the orange I had Bilenky replace the broken dropout on frame I got for my son, then I painted it to match the headtube; https://www.flickr.com/photos/leslie_bright/23946265090/in/album-72157623199721925/ On Monday,

Re: [RBW] Re: Orange 58cm Rambouillets Is this a Mythical Beast?

If you are replying to my post of the orange ram with blue-green stays ... We discussed matching the headtube cream color, but Bilenky recommended against it, I think because they said that it would tend to look dirty all the time and also cream is so muted a color it would kind of wash out

Re: [RBW] Re: Orange 58cm Rambouillets Is this a Mythical Beast?

Well the Ram seems more roadish than even the Hilsen but can run up to 38's and a 58 would fit me even better than the Trek 660. See I'm trying to convince myself to bring another Riv back into the stable :) ~Hugh “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” ―
