One of the most endearing parts of the Riv-Staff is how they each seem to have their own particular way of interacting with the Riv-Site. It makes it kind of like easter egg hunt.
Click "New Items" and you see the (1)$4000 Roadeo, the (2) $2900 57.5cm Longbike, and (3) A nice $2650 complete Hillborne Click "Web Specials" and you see that same (1) Roadeo, but not bikes (2) and (3), but you do see (4) 53cm Protovelo Frameset for $1111, and (5) 52cm complete Longbike for $2900, same price as (2) but different size, and a (6) 56cm Atlantis frameset for $2300 and (7) a 61cm Hilsen frameset for $2300 Click "Frame Specials" and you see (1), (6) and (7) but none of the rest. Click on the page for bike (5) the 52cm complete longbike, and it claims to be part of a group called "New&Good". Click on that, and the New&Good page has no frames or complete bikes at all, but does have wooden ties. It's absolutely classic. You gotta want it.
