I've been up in the UP just now on the Shoreline MUP tour, and sadly, no Rivs. One Rawland, a CoMotion nicely set up from a Bobbish pov, similarly a Merkcx, a few Waterfords, a Bridgestone, a Volkscycle, and my Woodrup. Most bikes were current alumimum, Al/carbon, or full carbon models; and Trek seemed to be the dominant brand. No surprise, there, really!
