My thoughts: 1) Parting out (esp. with new parts) is good because most parts are not size-specific to the large frame. 2) Of course more people will be in the market for specific parts a, b or c, rather than having a large amount of cash for the whole bike 3) Or put another way, when you're in the market for a bike this expensive, you likely have some parts of your own/or want to choose them carefully, vs. buy a built-up bike (this was my personal experience recently). 4) Specific-sized frame limits the market, but those looking for a large frame may be willing to buy frame/fork alone.
Also, it seems his asking price is a bit high; Frame/fork for new riv is max about $2000, is it not (I'm not talking custom).
