Mark Nobilette built/builds the Legolas frame set. It is Riv's design and
he uses a mix of Columbus Life and Zona tubes.

Thinking out loud here, I propose that if Riv continued to offer these 5
frames, *some* of their financial worries would be diminished. Accepting the

2. Hunq
3. Legolas
4. Rodeo
5. Sam.

especially in the larger sizes. Good
Thin tubes, higher BB, a name they might have decals for but can't officially

What's the big deal? I have never ridden one of these unicorns, but wow,
they seem to be more popular than Rodeo. So, I'm really intrigued. Is it
simply that you can't get them any longer (or only by special order at
custom prices) -- so it's appealing because you can't easily get one?
