The one thing I dislike about rivbikes is that awful pop-up product info box, where the main screen goes into shadow. Basically, anything like that where you have to watch a pointless animation load for five seconds (and where a non-standard browser like opera, firefox or Safari may hang up or crash) makes it frustrating and difficult to gather information from a website.
Yeah, VO have their site just about nailed; it works just about as quickly and simply as Harris' and it looks a little slicker.
