You think powder coated to save cash too? It can be done nice for alot
cheaper than wet. You do lose some definition around lugs but for a
"beater" shouldn't be an issue.

I can see it being done. Especially with low-tier Shimano components.
(Think Tiagra or no-name). Most of which appear to work just fine. And

The wheels might be the toughest part.
It's something I'll keep an eye on, althou

The email as linked from Rivendell's Twitter. The frame will be made in
Taiwan, "minimalist paint", no headbadge, and I guess the downtube/seattube
decals will be minimalist as well. I like the idea of a "beater Rivende
Intriguing, a build kit for a Riv is $1,200 so not sure how it would be
