We have a nice 54 cm Singular Osprey here. It's Rambouillet-esque, lugged, 1" threaded fork, offset paint scheme, and internal rear brake cable housing routing, plus some other cute little touches. MSRP is around $700 for frame/fork. If there were corners cut, it's not clear where.
The problem with budget Rivs is that they tend to evolve quickly in the fancy direction, and the budget-ness fades quickly. The Hunq was supposed to be the budget model a couple years back. Now it's $2k.
