Just gonna bump this one last time before I give up and resort to ebay or
some such. I just stripped the components off the frame to hot-rod my
ladyfriend's bike. I'm going to reduce the price to $1250 shipped and throw
in the Tektro M730 V-brakes. So that's a sweet-riding and somewhat unique
Thanks! It really is a sweet-riding loaded touring bike, but also somehow
feels relatively fast and nimble unloaded. But I don't ride it much except
for Riv-ish events, so I think it's time to pass it on. If my price seems

Also note the long head-tube, which means that only a minimal stack of
spacers is needed to achieve a high-ish handlebar height. The steerer tube

That is a sweet bike! Love the stripped down version in Green and I can
see the Atlantis influence. I think my favorite Riv is Grant's old 90's
