The more volume, the higher the discount. Suspect that amount of frames and bikes shipped by bikeflights far exceeds that of Riv. Riv probably uses their own corporate account for the small things, but bikeflights for frames and complete bikes due to the higher discount. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I think I once read that there was never a Nigel Smythe (either person or company) and that it was just a moniker that RBW made up for their England sourced bags.

I think it had to do with a combination of exchange rate making the bags price prohibitive and ability to secure a constant supply (esp. of the tweed bags).

Bikeindex indicates that bike was stolen in Miami, and ebay listing is by pawn shop in Miami as well.
