Yes on a fistful of post so you could ride a level-ish toptube frame big enough to get the bars up, no on dead flat. Every Riv ever produced has at least a modicum of rise from seattube to headtube and I'm not surprised Grant wasn't going to be talked out of it. But I also doubt the story was as simple as that request...
