Thanks for that. Looks like the Bombadil is now "around $3500" according to the RBW site, so the price of the Appaloosa makes sense. (Unfortunately, it's likely made the prospect of owning one go from "want but don't need" to "want but can't have"!) Jeff Hagedorn Warragul, VIC Australia -- Y

Hi Jeff, $3,500 is the starting price for a custom bike. If/when the Appaloosa goes into production, it'll cost less. But probably not much less-- IIRC, the Bombadil is available as a "semi-custom", and runs $3,000. The Bombadil was billed as "spare-no-expense", whereas the Hunqapillar is the bu

I know this one's a leftover from the prototype run, but does anyone have any insider intel on whether or not $3.5K will end up being the street price for a production frame? I'd bother Riv directly, but I'm sure they'd rather hear from somebody who's got a credit card in their hand. Jeff Hag
