I agree with Jim that a lot of the year is in prototyping. Especially if Grant is working with tubes and/or lugs he's not so accustomed to, he'll want to build up a couple and make sure they are still Rivs. The last thing he needs is to have a bike out there that doesn't live up to the name, no matter what price.
There may certainly be a trip or two to Taiwan in there. And I recall a couple of stories where even after all the drawings and meetings and whatnot a prototype shows up that's still not right. Best to manage our expectations and say a year. - Pete in CT -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
