That's pretty! One of the nicest frames Riv ever did.

You're very welcome. Enjoy.
The paint scheme is almost exactly the colours of my 2020 Mercian.
What size tires does it take?

Joe & Jeff, thanks so much.  After selling my 56 as it was too big there were no more Salukis to be had,  I bought a Bleriot and will put it up for sale soon, I cleaned the frame up today and took pics of any scratches.  I have all of the parts minus the headset that I had on my first Saluki on this bike now.  They went on the Bleriot and are back home, although the original used side pulls and this one has cantis.  I’ve also changed from Albatross to Choco bars, all else remains the same.  

Dave, those are Baby Shoe Pass, so even though they say 42mm they are a tad under 40mm.  I have a pair of Hetres as well, I used them for a couple of rides and may put them back on those rims when riding weather returns, they end up being about the same size as the BSP with a caliber.  

Thanks again guys.  

I’ll put a picture of my original Saluki above.  
.

Joel

Congratulations Joel. That's such a beautiful frame and color. I remember when Johnny posted it after he acquired it. 
Nice to see it in the possession of another enthusiastic Riv rider. Enjoy lots of good rides in 2022:-)))

Best,
Rich in ATL

Thanks Rich.  Now I have the bikes I want that fit me.  Too bad we have iced roads today,

Joel
