Looking for recent Riv Custom pic

[Joe Bernard]

Does anyone remember the fillet-brazed custom with faux head lugs? It had weird angles they didn't have lugs for, so the headtube got a sort of half-lug across the front. I can find the the most recent custom with purple components on Instagram, but not this one.

Thanks,

The custom on the March 6 Blahg?

There ya go, thanks! I have a request in to Riv/Grant/Mark for a super-laid-back-upright custom to accommodate my arthritic wrist, and I'm probably not going to get there with lugs. The most recent custom in the Blahg with the kinda-dropped toptube started me thinking about it, then I remembered this one. I'll bet a combination of those two frames would make a great upright Riv Cruiser for me.

Joe,

Getting a custom would be wonderful. Maybe someday I will have one too. 

In the meantime, my favorite super upright bars are the choco-mooses that came on the original Appaloosa. They are great bars. If you can get one, check it out. Comfort is king.

Will, what's funny is I've owned those bars and Boscos and swapped them out for flatter bars. I should have just left those bikes alone!

Update so it doesn't get into the ether that Riv is building weird semi-recumbent Funny Bikes: I'm getting a custom city/townie/commuter with Boscos based loosely on this one (if approved by Grant..don't know yet!) I dig the slight drop on the toptube to show off the heart seatlug, but it's not a full-on mixte/step-thru. Stay tuned!
