Indian silver maybe!?!
Sadly we no longer live in Northfield. I clearly have not updated my profile in a long while. We moved to Racine Wi 7 yrs ago.
i have only found what i would call sparkly white or ivory, but Could very well be their Indian Silver ive gotten dow to bare paint/metal at the bottom bracket and joints near the top and downtube intersections of the head tube. All the same color. So, perhaps the frame was built in 90 but painted for 91. I cannot tell from either catalogue if the frames are lugged or welded.. the photos arent clear enough and it doesnt seem to say outright. The 90 definitely looks welded to me, especially with the oversized down tube; did anybody ever lug those fat tubes?
the house i found it in front of has a moving truck out front today. And two Pinarellos parked out front waiting to be loaded.....couldnt they toss those out too?
the owner was busy packing inside.
he (or someone before him) had filed out the rear dropouts of the rb2 to elongate them, probably for a fixie. Not sure what to do about that....except mayby just repaint it and use it as a fixie or single speed or internal hub winter beater.
