Top tube (approx): 23 inches or 58.4 centimeters (from center of head
tube to center of seat tube)

Crankset: Sugino XD2 with Phil Wood bottom brackets
Brakes: Paul Touring and Neo-Retro cantilevers
Break Leavers: Cane Creek SCR-5C Leavers
Stem and Bars: Nitto lugged stem with Noodle bar
Shifters: Shimano Bar End Shifters

This is one of the best looking bikes I've seen, even for a Riv.

Cheers,

If that bicycle fits, buy it! It's the right thing to do.

I have a full atlantis build kit on hand, so a complete bike is not what I need, but I could always do a big parts dump...imagine how cheap that frame could end up being!  That's a $2000+ build kit.  $400 rear hub, $300 bar and stem, $200 brakes.  etc etc.
