There are two Rivs in my future that I can foresee. The standard one is that I'll probably upgrade my 56 Hillborne to a 58 Atlantis. I want the MUSA, I want the looks (two tone paint, and those lovely chainstays) and I want just a teensy weensy bit more clearance to run 700x50s.
The non-standard one that I'll buy as a custom if I have to, but would be delighted to see standard would be a full-on Riv Rando bike. I think of it as a 650B Roadeo with cantilevers. If I do it as a custom I'll put a pump peg behind the seat tube, have Nobilette make a connectorless dynamo fork, plus a couple other little details that I've come up with.
