Late to the party as usual, and please ignore if you saw it long ago, but I just stumbled across this while looking for reasonably priced fenders for a friend -- one product was on the Riv website.
https://www.rivbike.com/pages/about-us-1 For the record: I write resumes for executives; the median range is $200K -- $350K, and often much more than that. I write for all industries and functions, with tech perhaps being dominant. My clients are of all races, cultures, and personality types; if I haven't seen it all, I've seen a very great deal of it. Also for the record, I am a "small is beautiful" believer, arch-traditionalist (Orthodox Christian) who (to state things provisionally in entirely inadequate conventional categories, and categorizing "in principle" and not "in fact") am a Platonist and monarchist. I am not in any way new age or liberal. But I have to say that the "About Us" page and especially the embedded video warmed my heart. God damn capitalism (socialism too); the Rivendell business model is simply normal and human. Sure, in Plato's Republic or in Dante's earthly paradise, bicycles and Rivendell would have no part. But in the world we live in, Rivendell is on the side of the angels. I was struck by the merely human quality of those presented in the video: they want something more than market share, revenue growth, and margin. They are on the side of the traditional Indian and Sinhalese craftsmen whom Ananda Coomaraswamy described as working overtime to their own pecuniary loss, simply for love of what they were doing and for the good of what there were making.
