That was awful. I hope that was a translation by a doctoral candidate eager to impress, and not the author’s own words.
To de-digress, I think a Rivvish bike has high bars, a leather saddle, and a red basket net. It’s steel, and either made by Rivendell, or from the 80s. Surly and Soma bikes can be rigged “rev-style.” A finely tuned bike in another idiom may well be Tapebubba style, but to arrogate it to Riv style is a stretch.
