Is this "Riv Blue"? It appears to have more green in it than the pics on Rivendell's Clem page. A beautiful color! Can someone who owns one comment on how the appearance in reality compares to the picture? Kimberlite-and-the-Clem-Smith-Jr.jpeg

I don’t own a Riv blue Clem, but do have a Riv blue Gus, and this does appear to be the same color. It’s gorgeous in person, and the color seems to shift a bit in different lighting. Sometimes it’s more blue, sometimes it has a hint of green in it. But I would never say it’s a bluish green. I don’t even really like blue all that much, but this is probably my 2nd favorite Riv color of all time… so I think that says something.

This is RBW Blue, as seen in screenshots I grabbed of a Susie on Craigslist and Leah's Clem.L (with red leaf!) on @bicyclebelledingding Instagram. It's a darker metallic blue than the first gen Clem L you're showing, that bike had more green in it and I think was a flat color. One of my favorites btw, I love the first gen blue/green!

Does anyone actually have a Gus with forks that look like the Gus on Rivendell's website? It appears that the Gus on Rivendell's website has Hubbuhubbuh forks and not Gus forks. My Gus (1st shipment) forks look like the Susie forks on Rivendell's website - kind of a TIG'd, non-lugged version of the Appaloosa forks, and not the Hubbuhubbuh forks. I am assuming that the Gus on the website was a prototype?

My Gus's fork crown is the same as yours, Laing- I'm guessing you're right that the one on the website was a prototype. (Mine is from the first batch as well).
