I agree, the Stanyan is around the $700 mark. I'm not sure if anyone else has looked around, but you can find a San Marcos in the low $700's. So, I'll cross my fingers that Riv puts out a frame around that price point.
Anyone in here familiar with cost-saving strategies with frame building? I imagine that tig welding the seat post lug would save quite a bit of time, labor, and casting because it'd be easy to bind all of the tubes together. I admit that it would be weird to see a partially lugged Riv, however a tigged BB shell or seat post lug seems like a quick and dirty way to cut costs.
