Have you read the Legolas thread? Group member Brian Campbell got his Legolas last year for $2,700:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rbw-owners-bunch/HyI-BnNcP3o As Bill Lindsay -- who also bought a Nobilette Legolas for less than the current Rodeo price -- explained: "The price difference is in paying Grant to design a new bike. The Legolas design is done, so it’s much much cheaper than a custom." Thus, it's not unreasonable to suppose that you might be able to buy a Saluki, etc, for Rodeo price. Maybe not, I don't know if Riv still has all the lugs needed for the Saluki, but it's confirmed that you can get a Legolas for $2,800 or less. I am with you on the Charlie H. I am waiting to see it before deciding on a semi-custom.
