"Gravel Peterson"

Why buy direct from Riv when you can pay double on eBay!

What I like is the single mounted cantilever in the photos -- other than the headset there are no other parts on the frame, just the one lonely cantilever arm.... and seller says "Caliper pictured is not included."  Sort of a post-modern art statement. Ha! 

Oh... it looks like the price is now a low, low $1695

The seller has a variety of "optimistically" priced frames and parts listed   ($500 for an old Schwinn cruiser fork!)  .... but they did recently sell a Rosco Bubbe frame for $1379.99 -- so...

"Gravel Peterson"


Admittedly, 'Gravel Peterson' would've been a great name for my 52cm Clem, and I'm mad I didn't think of it.

I too was flabbergasted when I saw this. I messaged the seller to inform them about the brand-new-from-Riv price and asked if there was a rationale behind the 100% markup. No response.

It was down to $1000 a couple days ago, now back up to $13k. I believe this is an example of the species --> moron.
