There's one I see reasonably regularly and have for a number of
years. Don't think he's on-list. It's one of the 1st Gen orange
models and it gets ridden. Always seem to pass

No better life for a bike!

Regarding the orange color - it was a tricky and expensive "two pass"
paint job - http://cyclofiend.com/rbw/color.html#Rambouilletorange

AASHTA - http://sheldonbrown.com/org//rambouillet/index.html his was
orange

and Barry's (which was in the so-far-only-done-once calendar) really
shows the quality of the two-pass paint job.

oh that pesky "SEND" button...

What I was starting to say was that I always seem to pass by the opposite way from where he's going. I've waved a few times but never actually chatted with him.   It looks like a larger framesize - 59 / 61 or thereabouts.

Isn't that a wonderful color?

This might be a totally superfluous post, but in my aging airheadedness, I remember that we type AASHTA before a Sheldon Brown link, but I had forgotten why we did it, or what it stood for, so I looked it up again.  

AASHTA stands for:  As Always, Sheldon Has The Answer.  

Now why can't I forget what AYHSMB, or AYBABTU stand for?
