Nice quality for a steel frame. I'd love to see someone in this forum build one up the right way (no old fashioned DT shifters, etc)
Check out the lug work, etc.
I don't know this seller, but I've seen these frames pop up on Ebay every once in a while.

the ebay listing calls the frame a 2004, but I thought they had moved away from the orange color in 2003. It really doesn't matter as the frames should be the same regardless of the paint. I posted in another thread that I rode 2 Ramboulette (sp?) bikes on different visits to the Riv factory and loved the ride characteristics, but the orange color was just not for me. Really nice bike, really nice people. Grant P. spent a fair amount of time with me talking about frame building and ride quality. Not being a racer I agree with most of the Riv philosophies.

You could paint the suicide levers orange, and switch them over to the Rambouillet!
