I just noticed the Blug states that the silver/blue Legolas is the

I think it also has to do with manufacturing. The Legolas is made by Mark
Nobilette, not in a "production" manner AFAIK. Not to say it couldn't be
done but seems unlikely.

I already have a Legolas, purchased really recently. I’m only now getting
around to really riding it. I did not purchase the ultimate Legolas.

Ok. So “Legolas” is copyrighted. But the frame is designed by Riv, and they at

It's not so much the line breaking mid-hill. It is the lack of being able to
repair a misshap while on tour. A line could get cut or broken for a number of

the right oil woukd be hard to find most places and blee
We sail down mountains with tiny slivers of metal clamped by a little bolt for

hydraulics on V brakes and he claimed they were superb. Easy to modulate, very

Riv is out of the 42cm, and I need a pair at least 14" long (from center of
bolt hole to tip) for a build. Before I go to the web, I thought I'd see if
anyone has a pair to spare. Does not have to be new, but I do need unbent
and 14" C2T to make it work.

This is correct. Technically they probably can't even use the ones they have,
but Riv has been trickling out Legolases anyway since the decals are sitting
there in the shop.

Beautiful! That's in *much* nicer shape than the one I just sold. I had
