Riv doesn't do any torch work in-house, but adding water bottle braze ons
to a frame is not too expensive. Probably around $50 for a local
framebuilder to do it. Riv has a couple that they typically work with.

That is exceedingly good, since their biggest problem as a business is
cashflow. Their Taiwan suppliers want their money up front. Now that
shipment 1 of the Clems is pre-sold, Riv should have the money on hand to
