I'm certainly no pricing expert, but that looks to me like a very good deal, given first the cost of current Rivs and, second, the high prices XO-1s command in the used market. IMO, this is a much better bike than an XO-1, nice as those are. On Sat, Nov 23, 2019 at 6:29 PM Steven Sweedler wrote:

For all Gus/Susie orderers, you can always pay to have the frame driven over to D for paint from Rick Stefani. The only lug cutouts for cream are the seatlug on both and fork crown on Gus..the price for a top quality MUSA paint job should be very reasonable. I vote for yellow! -- You received
