No Idea where the color came from. I just know it was a good price on a bike that fit my frame on the day I had the urge. I do know that the Brava's were built in Taiwan and they really did a sh1tty job wrapping that bar tape. It was not even rolled into the end caps. But I was too green to notice it when I got it.
Great riding bike .. if I can resolve the front derailleur issue I am fighting with. (in the mechanic's forum)
If I stay with it, a second bike will be a gravel bike .. with a better gearset than this Sora.
