This looks like a nice sport tourer? It’s pretty stout but from all accounts I’ve seen does ride nice

There you go. But it is interesting that Grant/Riv doesn't seem to want to advertise their bikes in this manner. Instead, I think they put out the Roadeo (which appears to be discontinued?!) and Roadini (which is basically tig-welded with an unappealing seat tube lug) as something to fill their lineup as they push their upright/pull back bar philosophy. With things like double top tube and other weird styles and then their need to ask for money, it is obvious things aren't working.
Bottom line, I use to be a subscriber and interested in Riv. I do like their custom Rivendell. But at $3500 for a frameset, there are many other custom framesets I would prefer. Further, now the only time I hear about them is in threads like this. Not good.
Good Luck!
