I started out with an LHT but traded up to a Sam Hillborne 2-3 years ago. I'm not sure what size Riv you ride now but I'd bet Surly has a comparable size (I had a 56cm LHT and currently have a 56cm Sam). I am really pleased with the quality of Surly bikes. I've had a Cross Check, Steamroller, and LHT--they've all been really awesome bikes. And given that a while Surly bike is around the cost of a Riv frame, it's a no-brainer. You should take a Pacer out for a test ride because they accommodate tires up to 32mm. This bike is definitely more fun to ride than an LHT. Try to test ride an LHT as well because you can also get them with 26 inch wheels.
