61cm AHH

Nitto Noodles 46cm

Nitto Lugged Stem 100mm

Brooks Imperial

Nitto 65 Seat post

Rides great. It is a little dirty in these pics but that is not a bad thing.

Had this for just about a year now and have tried to post here many times to no avail. Quit the group, re-did my settings and hope this does it.

Success! And the color looks great, especially with that handlebar color!

Gorgeous!  Love the wrap, bag, fenders!  Nice work!  Are you doing longer rides yet?  How is the Imperial saddle?  I'm considering a Selle Anatomica for 200k+

Thanks! Glad it finally worked. As for the Imperial saddle, I like it quite a bit. It replaced a well worn B-17 Champion Special and I have not missed it. Funny thing about the color is it was a mistake. When I ordered the frame, Iasked that it be painted green. It came back grilver. Keven was very sorry and offered to to re-paint it any color I wanted at no additional cost. The color grew on me and Riv gave me a discount for my "troubles" so everything worked out.

 

The build is:

 

61cm AHH

46cm Noodle bars

10 speed 11-36 cassetts w/ Shimano 10 speed bar end shifters

Open Pro's w Ultegra hubs & 35mm Vittoria Hyper Randos

XT Rear deraliler

Campagnolo Record front derailer

Electra Tincino Crank arms

VO 46/30 50.4 Chainrings

Honjo "La Paeon(?) fenders

Marks Rack (Actually IS Mark's rack. He sold me his extra)

Acorn Rando bag front

Acorn small bag rear

Brooks Imperial

Nitto 65 Post

Shimano Platform/SPD pedals

Paul Racer Center pulls w/ Black cool stop pads.

Lugged Nitto Stem 100mm

 

Bike truly is an amazingly comfortable ride

The grilver is great, groovy, grand!

Riv is so on a roll with colors in the last couple of years. The Roadeo/Hunqa grey with red or orange, the last two Hillborne's, Simpleone, and now this accidental choice.
I find very often that when I relax my grip a bit that serendipity will trickle in. And that has made all the difference.

[Brian Campbell]

Yeah, truth be told at first, I was a bit miffed that it wasn't "exactly" as I had ordered it. Then I realized that "perfect is the enemey of good enough" and moved on. It is by far, my favorite bike and I could not be happier with how it turned out. Lesson learned,. Lighten up!

[Brian Campbell]

Darn, I meant "enemy"....

[Ablejack]

Beauty. I love the color. Smart build too. 

/you mentioned it was "dirty" - my bikes are only that clean once a year.

[Joe Bernard]

What is the actual color? You're calling it "grilver", but I don't see any green it. Is that just a humorous reference to the fact you ordered green but got silver? I'm asking because, - after selling my slightly too big Homer - I'm seriously considering getting one in the right size, and I love the color of yours. I don't like the stock blue so much.

Joe thanks! "Grilver" is Riv's description of the color. It is a combination of grey & silver. They had a blog post (last year some time?) about this color being tested on a Sam IIRC. I had asked for green and got this by accident. There is no gree in it that I am aware of. I too am no big fan of the stock blue either (no offense to anyone).

[Joe Bernard]

Oh I see..I got "green" out of "gr". Well now I know to ask for "Brian Campbell's grilver" if I go this route. I tell ya, brother, I hadn't intended to spend that much on another frame this year, but my 50th birthday is in May. Hmmm..

[Smitty]

beauty.
