The build kits seem to be a logical extension of the typical build sheets listed with some models. It's easy for customers to know the exact cost, and IF it saves RBW some time there's a discount in it too. I think after one or two substitutions it might become a typical custom build anyway, though Riv has skwdys been ultra reasonable and may be reluctant to bump people out of the package deal. I hope this strategy expands their market a bit. Certainly all of us here on the forum want to pick everything down to the ferrules, but many people don't, and may have been put off by the too-many-options approach in the past. Maybe Riv should build up their last few SimpleOne frames as complete bikes and see if that helps their appeal. I'd be curious to know how many bikes Surly sells "complete" vs frame-only?
