RoadeoRosa teaser

[Bill Lindsay]

Rick at D&D tells me he'll be delivering my Roadeo frame set to Rivendell HQ next week sometime.  He gave me a sneak peek at my color-matched Rene Herse/Honjo fenders.  Here they are:

It's getting real

Wow...is it ever! Is that a fade or just lighting ?

Dying to see the finished bike...as you are no doubt

[Bill Lindsay]

It's just Pink with Cream scalloped tips.  No fade.

I never would have considered pink as a desired color for a bike of my own -- until I laid eyes on a  Crust Bombora. Bill, I'm laying down a bet that your Roadeo Rosa will out bombora the Bombora!!!   I'm eagerly awaiting some glamour pics of the beauty.

I love it already. It’s the perfect pink. And we only have to wait until next week to see it!

That’s a good bike, and a great color. The lawyer lips were lost in transit? Or that’s a semi custom option?

Here’s a great essay by David Byrne on Pink, if you’re interested- https://www.cabinetmagazine.org/issues/11/byrne.php

Enjoy!

Thanks for the article, Kai.  It wasn't the best-written article I have ever read, but there is a lot of fun cultural history content in there.  

Pink for the win!

Maybe not the best, but pretty good considering that whole psycho-killer business..  And the celebrity one is most likely to see on an N-YC bike path! 

So yeah, good article, better bike.

My sister lives in the same building as David Byrne in Manhattan.  I've seen his bikes stored in the basement.  He definitely rides them.

[John Dewey]

And it is the David Byrne, after all.

Mark tells me my frame is sitting in his stand right now...

I'm going to pick it up Thursday morning, and I have to pick my headbadge.  The Roadeo head badge comes in Red or in Blue.  The Roadeo page on the website shows them both.  I'm definitely going blue.  There are a few touches of blue that will show up elsewhere on the build, so that will tie in.  

I'm pretty sure I have absolutely every piece of the build so it may be New Bike Day less than 24 hours from now.

DRAT this 3 hour time zone difference. I’ll be waiting forever over here! Hurry, hurry!

No kidding, Leah! I am dying to see this bike! Bill, you've been waiting a long time for it...mind you, I know you have a large stable, but still...

[Steve]

waiting for it

Waiting For It

WAITING FOR IT 

!!!

[Sarah Carlson]

Have you snuck over for even the littlest peek? I wouldn't be able to stop myself!

Am very much anticipating this pink bike reveal!

[Bill Lindsay]

Riv HQ closes at 3PM.  Rick from D&D dropped it off on his way home at like 3:15 yesterday, after they closed up.  Mark put it in his work stand and emailed me at 3:30 on his out.  There were no peek opportunities.  Riv HQ opens at 9AM PST this morning.  I've got a work meeting at 8, which I'm taking from home. When that meeting is over I'm off to pick it up.  My headset crown race setter is trash, so I'm going to have James or Antonio set my crown race and press in my headset cups.  That way we can take a couple of New Frame Day photos in front of the garage door, as is tradition.

Can't wait!

2 new frames in the same week, Bill?

Greg in Oakland

[Bill Lindsay]

Two completely separate 6-month long projects each stretched out to 2-year projects independently and for different reasons.  Each of those two unrelated projects reach "New Frame Day" within hours of each other.  Correct.

So which gets built first? Tough choice ahead!

The Roadeo may be done tonight.  I don't get the Falconer until Saturday.

Impressive.  It's taken me over 2 years to build up my Norther-L'avecaise, and I'm still not finished!
