I don’t think anyone should assume they can get a Saluki, Bombadil, or Legolas for $2800. That’s the price for the Nobilette Roadeo. At the very least, I would expect the additional canti braze-one would increase the cost. It will be interesting to see how Rivendell iterates the MIT frames. The

I presume you can get a Roadeo or Saluki (AHH) at those prices because they are or were existing production models and they can use the names. Legolas was only a production frame for a very short time; has been semi-custom ever since; and would now be presented as a Rivendell custom on the
