Where have all the Riv-diamond braze-ons gone?

[Michael]

You know, for the bridges and bottle holder rivets?

 

A nice touch. Was wondering why they stopped using them on the bikes. Too bad.

It is nice. They are kinda like braze-on lugs.

They finish the lugging look of the bike, if ya ask me. Having all joints lugged and braze-ons finished in that way.

Those are customs and earlier one offs it would appear. Probably  too expensive to bring that level of detail to a production bike.

I would think they would be much easier than the detailing of lugs though.

FWIW, my custom Richard Sachs has plain Jane round bottle braze-ons. For whatever reason, he doesn't use them on his frames, and he's certainly not cutting corners in terms or price or workmanship.

My QB, bafflingly, doesn't even have a proper fender boss on the rear brake bridge. Everything is built to a price. (That being said, the QB is a dream of a bike and I'd be happy with it even if it had one fork leg and no seat tube!)

The brake bridge on my Rodeo has those sweet little diamonds and they are painted in the cut outs too!
