John: To answer a question in your orig post, Toyo is a frame shop in Osaka that Riv subbed to for several years, until the Yen exchange rate drove the price too high. Atlantis, Rambouillet, Saluki, and Romulus were made there. Panasonic, also in Japan, made the single speeder and did some painting as did another Japanese paint shop, Urema(?). Wilbury, Glorius and Bombadil are all fancier, nicer bikes subbed to Waterford as was Atlantis after Toyo, and Hilsen. Saluki was merged into Hilsen.
Riv always insisted that the build quality was the same no matter where it was made. Bruce -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
