Blue Lug Special Riv Frames

[Max Faingezicht]

There is an incredible video on blue lugs insta of Rivs visit to blue lug with their collab frame. Look at that JB paint!

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

Stop it! They made pink?!?!

[Johnny Alien]

I think it might be like a rose gold. Look at that little collab heart decal

Leah Ii was waiting for your response! Ha! Each bike is a different color.

Also, if you don’t have 45m to watch the whole thing, see the last two minutes: any bike is already perfect!

Pink and Periwinkle!

Can't wait to see these built up. The details are very special.

Damn...I love it!

Wow, that rose color is stunning.  "Liquid death, " or not.  Beautiful bikes.

Reminds me of a softer, less-aggressive version of the color of the 1st-year Bianchi Volpe. (Which is a grail bike for me... I've wanted one ever since I read the Bicycling Magazine review at the La Mesa, CA library in 1987... I was 14.)

Stunning paint in both options. I wonder how they'll deal with selling any that aren't going to friends or family of Blue Lug. I imagine there will be far more than twelve customers interested in purchasing! ...myself included

Looks like a canti brake Charlie H. Gallop. They both look nice. Cantilever brakes appeal more to me than caliper brakes on a bike. Looks like it is using the head badge that the beginning and later custom bikes use. 

Thanks,

Nice intel Max! 

I'll be there in 2 weeks, but as the blog wants folks to only buy these as completes... I won't be snagging one! 

if there are any on display still I'll get some photos!

My goodness, those frames are not just special, they're exquisite! And with Joe Bell paint to boot. 

Drew, have a nice trip to Japan with a bonus visit to Blue Lug. Surely return to ATL with some BL swag!

Best,

Rich in ATL
