Well...I hope someone gets in line, because in my experience, a Riv custom is a worthy investment providing a Riv is your style, and I think you do have lots of choices and the Riv folks are fun to work with...I However, it's good for Riv that their production bikes seem to be selling briskly

I rode my pink custom mixte from Silverlake to Eagle Rock, here in LA, and got so many compliments and smiles as I rode by Traders and my company's mailbox store. I have the same set up with 650 B's. I remember when Riv posted the pics on Instagram the painter said, "I hope she likes the color!"
