How much do custom bikes even cost? I sure there is a wide range, but I figured the cost would be upward of $2k depending on the frame maker and material. I see alot of off the shelf carbon fiber frames that cost much more than two grand and those are relatively cheap to construct am I not correct.
Rivs are pricey, but the only the most expensive models are around $2k. They have a quite a few that are much cheaper than that and if you want custom from Riv it will obviously be more.
One thing I wish Riv would do would be to have the polished lugs. It seems a shame to cover all the tubing and lugs with the same color paint.
