You can always get a Riv Custom. Here's my '99 Joe/Joe, with nary a fender mount on the chainstay bridge. 28mm tires feel the best.

It would certainly not overlap with current production Rivs. If you like Grant's design philosophy and the ride quality of a Riv and serious fancy lugs and fancy paint to last a lifetime, why not order a custom?
