First Post Hello and new Saluki

[Oliver Moss]

Hello All,

After years of longing glances I finally have my first Riv, a sparkly orange Saluki. I'm still getting all the contact points adjusted, but so far it is silky smooth and I think I'm going to like it very much indeed. 

I just missed the maples turning, which would have perfectly matched the paint job, but I think the color fits right in this time of year here in Maine. 

I'm looking forward getting to know everyone here, and thanks in advance for all the info and pretty photos.

Killer. Perfect photo.

A+ on the photos Oliver! I like how the bottle cages form a heart shape. That's a keeper for sure. Now what's the plan for bar tape?

The bottle cage heart got me too when I put them on today. I wasn't sold on the Iris cages on my other bike, but they look much better on this bike.

Not sure on bar tape at the moment, not even settled on this bar at the moment so I'm happy to ride without tape for a little while. Dark blue cloth tape is top of the list at the moment though.

Iris fits most bikes IMO. Brown/tan always looks great with that orange. NIce bike.

I'm a big fan of the traditional cage shape to be honest, but the Iris on this bike does it.
