Oh my! I'm kicking myself for not buying a Saluki when they first came out. I've been thinking about buying an AHH in butterschotch sometime next year.

Could you post some close ups of the headbadge, dt emblem, and st emblem?

[William]

That's absurdly yummy.  Was it built originally with the bridge in the rear for a centerpull?  Like, did it precede the existence of Silver sidepulls?  I'm swooning over your fender clearances.

[jeffrey kane]

Yes, the bridge is original and the frame has a nice rear cable hanger welded in place as well ... this, I believe is because the first runs of these frames predate the silvers or Tektro calipers. I've run both and found a little more room for the fenders with the center pulls (particularly in front). Maybe the side pull calipers are a little nicer feeling ... but not enough to be bothered over.

[lungimsam]

That butterscotch and the cream head tube and the gold badge really look great together.

Whoa--that's beautiful! 

I may have to see if Hetres will fit under my fenders....

PS. I have SA-01 and my bike has that same rear centered cable hanger. Plays nice with Paul Racer centerpulls. My decal uses a different font. Interesting.

Here's the head badge, it's a that gold(ish) color .... no idea if that makes it the "brass" or "pewter" version offered at the time. and an interesting note about the "butterscotch" color for the original owed, Steve Frederick:

I have the very first butterscotch Saluki--custom colors were available for a modest up charge in the first run of frames.  I wanted something similar to the harvest gold color offered on customs, maybe a bit richer, with a little more brown, and after a few email exchanges, Grant came up with that color for me.  He like it so well he made it the standard color for subsequent runs--not entirely a new shade for Rivendell; it is very nearly the same color as one of my early WoolyWarm jerseys...

yeesh, that should have read:  and an interesting note about the "butterscotch" color from the original owner ... !

Thanks for posting. I like the Saluki badges. Never seen the gold one up close before. Very nice.

Looks great, man! Glad it found a good home.

Brass--the pewter was a dullish silvery-grey.

Yep, the first batch or three of 'Luki's had the option of either
centerpulls or cantis. Superlong reach tektro/silver sidepulls came
along a bit later...
