Thanks Hugh! It is a pretty cool feeling and it's nice to get all excited about something and not be disappointed in the slightest, you don't hear much about 'riv-regret' (unless it is about selling a Riv!) That silver Saluki is sweet looking, it is a classy frame like all the Riv's for sure. Looks like you had a good ride with some friends out in San Bernardino lately! I'm looking forward to some more consistent weather out here so I can really log some miles!
