Rivendell vs Waterford

[uforgot]

Claudia,

If you want a Rambouillet the same green as my DH has, then you'll have to have one stripped and repainted too, just like we did.
The green Rivendell used recently (after the blue run) is more a dark frosted forest green. Not sure if they actually made any 54cm frames in the dark green either, as there were a surplus of blue 54's at the time.

I saw that dark green and that was a thumbs up too. I was actually trying to find a pic on the Rivendell website to ask you if that was the one your husband wanted, but the website had a "flat tire" this morning. Maybe when they start production again, they'll keep the same color, otherwise I'll pay the $200 for custom.

Claudia,
Here are someone else's pix of their stock green Rambouillet:

It's a nice green too, with just a bit of frosted metallic to it.

That's what my DH originally ordered. But when it looked like they woouldn't get any in for many months, he bought a blue one and wanted a sort of non-frosted dark tractor green (not like the Riv stock dark frosted green). What he got instead was the creamier Sweetie Green color.

Wow, that really IS a gorgeous green. But I like the Sweetie Green, too.

But I'd be sorely tempted if this were my size...it even comes with a generator hub!

Yep, and a Mark's rack too!

Not cheap though.

Hey does everyone know yet that Heron bicycles is going out of business soon? One less steel bike option out there.

Ah, but it also has very good handbuilt wheels which run about $400 - $450 for the pair, and the Schmidt Dynohub and B&M D'Lumotec light would add another couple of hundred, easy. It looks like it would be a great deal.
