I may never have a lineup like this again since some of these will be going back to their owners, so I lined up all the beauties to pose for this pic. I wish I had more time to get to know them better. I will say that I've developed a big respect for the Riviera/Export groups as of late. It's a shame the Rivieras don't get more exposure. Pic your fav!!!

Agreed! I don't know of a better built machine...and the styling is among the most beautiful...in my opinion!

I really like my Riviera, unfortunately it doesn't get much use as of late. I have one of the mid 90's models with the flat bakelite boiler cover, maybe I would use it more if I had the shiny chrome eagle boiler covers like the ones in these photos!

Nelson, your lever pic is on point!

My Export finally arrived from Italy! The factory was waiting on parts so they could start production. Because I had to wait so long, they included an extra set of filter baskets, a group gasket, and an extra set of piston seals!

I also picked up a tamper and a bottomless PF.

You scored! It looks sharp in red.

Thanks!

Very happy with the shots that it's producing thus far!
