I am lucky enough to have two riv dealers within a 3 hour drive, although I've only been to and purchased from one.
I'd only heard of riv for a few months before I went on a test ride of atlantis and cheviot. I might have ridden a sam also. I spoke a few times with Riv corp about which ones would be best for me, and then I went down again a few months later and rode sam and appaloosa, which is the one I bought on the spot. Now, with a few different rides and information from this board, if I wanted another riv, and couldn't test it prior to purchase, I would trust rivendell recommendation. Still, without having a local dealer with built up stock, I never would have made this first purchase.
