I'm going to do as a couple of you suggested and investigate how I can responsibly ship the bike given my current situation. I'm moving in a week, and all of the tools I've used to ship bikes in the past are in storage. Perhaps I'll see if the folks at RBW might be able to pack and ship the bike for me. I've got a pretty high standard for shipping expensive bikes and I've never seen anyone else match the perfection of their packing.
Most importantly, this particular bike is pretty hard to let go of as it's my last Riv (I've had 4), and it represents letting go of much more than the physical possession. Bikes have been a big part of my identity for much of my life. I'm pretty tough, but disassembling and packing the bike would be agonizingly painful.
