That's a good eye, Roberta. I never would have picked up the green in the goldilocks bag and brass on the Backabikes, and how they pick up other colors on the bike. Everything ties together and it's all spectacular! Joe Bernard On Saturday, January 1, 2022 at 5:24:08 PM UTC-8 Roberta wrote:

That's just the prettiest bike ever! As for having 3 Rivs that's pretty much the bare minimum around here, some of us would consider it a starter package. 浪 Keeping the Clem: Don't ever sell it! It has the sentimental value and all that pretty red and orange ano and it's supposed to be with
