[RBW] Anyone have a spare Rivendell mug they're willing to part with?

My Rivendell mug unfortunately met with its demise thanks to my klutzy ways. I had one in my cart to order but foolishly waited, hoping that some out of stock stuff would reappear to add to the order. Alas, not only did that not happen, but now the mugs are gone and removed from the site.

I'd be all in for a budget version of the Atlantis, as that's the bike I've always wanted but just can't afford. I tried to make do with a LHT, but I never liked the bike and am getting rid of it. It's the Rivendell ride I'm in search of, so if it actually comes to fruition, I'm in
