WOW, it's truly beautiful! I really love the side shields, and I think they are a perfect addition to this frame.

Could you kindly tell me the frame total width?! Unfortunately, the measurements on the JMM website are often inaccurate.
tnx and congrats
I've meassured it at 14.5cm

Yves decade soldout?!
My guess is it comes back in a few weeks. All models were listed for April / May. I’ve noticed when they aren’t ready to ship the limit the number of pre orders and put them back on when they are ready. Also there is a fourth color in backend of the website that doesn’t show up - Bark Horn. Not sure if they’ll eventually release that one too.

Seems to me like Reserve is red, while Empire is a metallic burgundy.
Reserve is far from being red, it is more a deep burgundy, whereas Empire looks more bordeaux.

As most here would recognise, production photos are never an accurate depiction of reality, so it's just a guessing game until you see it in your hand.

I'm not going by production photos. Those are often edited. I am going by the user photos I have seen, under multiple light sources. At this point I have seen quite a few. Definitely enough to get a pretty good idea of what it looks like without having it in hand.

I said red vs metallic burgundy, you said burgundy vs Bordeaux. The point is still the same. They are not the same color. IMO, not even similar other than the fact that they are both different shades of purplish red or reddish purple.

Can anyone speak to the differences between reserve and empire colorways?
Empire is like a burgundy candy gloss paint job on a car with a chameleon effect depending on the light. Reserve to me looks best indoors but outdoors lightens up to an unflattering shade of red (imo). Again, it’s all personal perspective and someone will eventually take a picture of the two side by side soon. Two photos of empire from someone who has seen it in person from the FB group:

This is perfect, thanks for posting the photos. These two humble iPhone pics actually show the now appreciable difference from Reserve better than all of that fancy studio photography. Feels like JMM should find a better studio setup for showing off the often very subtle differences between the colors.

Agreed re Reserve in the sun, can give off Joker vibes. From these photos, Empire, to my eye, seems to be a more pleasing shade of Red
