$1800 is a great price for that Hunq. As time goes on I've noticed how different Riv buyers are now and they fall in two camps. The old guard which I relate to, and the newer people who probably were exposed to the brand via The Radavist. Recently I had lots of messages when I sold my Toyo built Atlantis where people would compare the price of a new Riv to mine and scoff at the "old" bike I was selling. But of course the person who purchased it struck up conversation, discussed the build and was specifically looking for that vintage as they had experience with Riv's for many years. I have a Hunqapillar and believe it to be the one to rule them all (for me). I'm sure my comments sounds elitist and snarky, but I'm really not intending that, it's just my observations and it seemed relevant given the comparison of a new MIT frameset to the Hunq.
