Congrats Bill. It's always cool to see someone get something special...with 
two wheels.

How do you anticipate your Legolas handling to be different from your BMC 
Monstercross?  Having ridden neither, and guessing they'd both be suitable 
for 'cross racing, this is interesting to think about.

[RBW] Re: Seen on My Instagram: My new 57cm Legolas Frameset

[Bill Lindsay]

tc asked if a Legolas is easier/cheaper for riv to sell, compared to a 
custom.

Yes, the design is totally complete for the Legolas.  When I order one, 
they just order a 57, and M. Nobilette already knows exactly what that is.  
So a Legolas is quite a bit less expensive than a custom.  With a custom, 
you work with Grant to decide what you are going to do on your bike and 
then Grant designs a bike for you.  It is not the kind of 'custom' where 
you tell Riv exactly the geometry and tubing you want, and they build it.  
It's a Grant design for you.  

I got to specify several little details, and that's easy.  I wanted 
clearance for Steilacooms, not 33mm cross-racing tires.  That's easy.  I'm 
running Mini-moto linear-pull brakes so I wanted no rear brake hanger.  I 
wanted discrete fender attach points and no rack braze ons on the stays or 
fork blades.  I wanted no pump peg.  I chose a head tube decal over a head 
badge.  Those were 'customized' options.  The only tiny geometry tweak is 
that the top tube has a TINY bit more slope than normal.  2-degrees instead 
of 1.5-degrees.

Wow Bill (and Roman) - nice!  I never really thought about it, but I guess 
any former Riv model can be made as a 'custom'.  Is there something about 
the Legolas that makes it easier/cheaper for Riv to do this?

You're my goddamned hero, Bill. That looks beyond excellent. Build it up 
and report ASAP!

I would love a lean, nimble bike with cantis...the Legolas and the Rock 
Lobster top my list.
