It reminds me of the Breezer bikes that Joe built way back. Particularly the ones he and Steve Potts used when touring in New Zealand.
I've always really liked those bikes and the design, it is smart overall design if the materials used allow for the design. Otherwise it just seems to be visual flair. In this case I don't understand why the rear midstays curve up to the seatstays as they do. It appears to negate any possible triangulation/structural benefits of the midstays which may be wanted with the long chainstays. Ultimately I don't know, I didn't design the bike or spec the materials so this is all just my personal opinion and speculation. Sorry for sounding overly critical, not my intention. It's an interesting bike and I like how Riv built it up to reference the older "rough stuff" touring bikes. Iterations on a theme. Dirt Cruiser Bruiser Bike.
