Hi Garth,
Custom frames are not available from Riv, at least on their website.
https://www.rivbike.com/collections/framesets/products/custom-framesets
but listed as currently "out of stock". However, "Made to order. Call
800 345 3918 or email m...@rivbike.com" if you're interested. It does
stand to reason that custom frames wouldn't be "in stock" as that would
defeat the purpose of "custom".
A full custom lugged would be out of my budget. Whatever I get, it’s likely to
be my last bike, as I am getting creaky and according to my family history,
I’ll be dead in twenty years. I am sure I’ll not be able to ride in another ten
or so.
Well, according to my family history, I should have died 13 years ago.
As for /being //sure /you won't be able to ride in another 10 years - I
hardly know what to say. That attitude will go a long way towards
making sure it's so. No idea how old you actually are, but if you're
planning to drop dead at 90, that would make you 70 now. I and many, if
not most, of the folks I ride with are well over 70. 2018 was a bad
year weather-wise, and my mileage is way off from last year; instead of
just missing 11,000 as was the case in 1017, I think I'm going to finish
2018 with only 9,000.
So this is a very important purchase! Probably my most important, as I’m not
rich. I have been saving up.
I don’t understand how buying a bike can be so obsessive and stressful. I can’t
blame PTSD for this one. I am a Rivendelian, and want to stay with the tribe,
but maybe this bike just isn’t for me.
Tim, Thank you!
Clayton
