Ok, fair enough, but I don't recall shushing anyone or implying one needs to pass a Riv loyalty test. I simply find the tone of outrage and insult over a frame being sold at cost a bit odd. I'm guessing the the builder and painter got paid. It's a custom. They don't come at scale prices.
If I were selling it, I might have knocked a bit off for the paint chip, but I'm not selling it or buying it, so my thoughts on the matter are pretty meaningless. That said, I'm the fist to ridicule Rapha and others for "epic" marketing and bro-tuned adds - and I'm about as far away from being a customer of "epic" goods as one can get. So where does that leave me? Probably somewhat more reflective about MY comments than I was earlier today...
