 Eric,
 I seem to recall being attracted to the "Butterscotch" Saluki (?) way 
 back when. Though I'm not sure I ever saw one in the wild. I do like the 
 metallics being used now, at least what I see online. Like the new light 
 metallic yellow on the Homer (or Sam's?). Hard to keep up.
 I must say though, when it came time to purchase a new Sam for a 
 dedicated touring bike back in 2015 or so, i opted for Black & Cream like 
 yours. I knew how a touring bike could take a beating. And despite being a 
 fine artist who has a huge stash of model car paints to mix almost exact 
 colors, given enough time, I have never been stumped worse than trying to 
 touch up my first early model  metallic orange Sam. I think it was a 
 two-stage paint (transparent orange over metallic gold?). That proved 
 impossible for me to match to my liking.

Nice looking Rivendell Standard road bike!

Looks like exact same paint options as my recently acquired 
Mountain/Expedition.

I think the specific color was Burnt Orange, for at least 1997 era.

 Hello friends — I've noticed that over the past few years Rivendell 
 have been using some of the same paint colors on many frames through 
 several production runs. If there's been a discussion of this practice, 
 I've missed it. 

 I can't quite put my finger on it but something about the same paint 
 appearing on frames over and over leaves me scratching my head. Perhaps 
 there's a missed opportunity to pin a color to a model or to cycle in new 
 colors with new batches of frames? 

 What do other members think? Do you appreciate the same colors 
 appearing on different frames? Do you wish there was a wider variety of 
 colors? Does it matter at all? 

 Some of these colors I like quite a lot, others I appreciate. There 
 isn't one that I dislike. The Lime Olive is always striking when it 
 appears 
 on a new frame, love it on the Hillbornes and Clems. 

 The harvest gold, wow, looks killer on those Susies. Blew my mind on 
 the Homers because they've always been a blue bike. 

 I do miss the mustard from the older Appaloosas and the dark bronze 
 that appeared on some Clems. These two colors paired with some of the 
 newer 
 colors currently in use demonstrate, I think, that Riv has some of the 
 best 
 paint colors in the biz. Really lovely stuff. 

 Here's a far-from-complete list more or less off the top of my head of 
 where current production colors have appeared:

 *Lime-olive*
 Platypus
 Susie
 Hillborne
 Clem

 *Mermaid*
 Appaloosa 
 Platypus
 Roadini
 Gus

 *Harvest/Dark Gold*
 Hillborne
 Homer
 Susie 

 *Ana Purple*
 Rosco Plat
 Appaloosa (next batch in 2023?)
 Road Uno or Gallop? (I can't remember but thought the purple was slated 
 for one of these frames) 

 *RBW Orange*
 Appaloosa
 Roadini
 Gus

 *RBW Blue*
 Too many to list?
 Appaloosa

Re: [RBW] Re: Dynamo Wiring inside the Fork and Frame?

2023-05-03 Thread Philip Williamson
Time. Hassle. 
I've got three dedicated dynamo bikes, and one is built for internal wiring 
through the fork and rack. I haven't run the wires and attached the plugs 
because I don't trust that I can do a good job. My bikes look awesome even 
with external wiring, so I'm not too concerned with losing style points.

Nice job Matthew, and thanks for the pics and explanation! I think I’ll try the same, but with B wire.

Re: [RBW] Re: Dynamo Wiring inside the Fork and Frame?

2023-05-03 Thread Pam Bikes
I run the wire along the fork and have a ziptie - if I'm finicky I'd match 
it to the bike frame.  Not barber shop wrap.  It's hidden and easy to 
replace if I need to.  I do leave a few loops of wire and curly cue around 
a screwdriver to make sure I have some give for turning.  And a loop near 
the bottom bracket in case I need some extra but it's all unobtrusive and 
easy.  It works and I've never had a problem after daily riding.
