Just a quick update. The good news: I bought a tandem. The bad news: It's not a Riv. At a bike swap yesterday, I found a good deal on a 2001 Cannondale tandem in our size. I'm a little sad that I won't get to own a Riv, but reason says that I made a good decision by starting our entry into the tandem world with something used. I've seen too many sad tandem classifieds from people who spent a lot of money on fancy tandems only to realize that the whole tandem thing is not for them...
