I am on the search for a classic Rivendell frame. I am open to pretty much any of the older frames and don't really care if its 26", 650B. or 700C. Bleriot, Saluki, Hilson, Atlantis. I am really open. I just want to build up and have one of the classic Riv's. I am typically in the 53/54 range for the older less slopey top tube stuff.  Hit me up.

Not sure about that original Rivendell listed for $1 which is not $1 in Brooklyn. If he means 1K I think he's dreaming in Technicolor.

I downloaded one of the photos to zoom in on and regardless of the crappy obviously  not original paint job with no decals or anything else to identify it, the lugs and the fork don't look like OG Riv lugs or fork  to me. It's not a great photo but I'm not sure seeing it in person would change my mind.

It looks more like a cheap frame where the tubes haven't been mitered, and the long lugs are used to hide this fact. It also doesn't look as though there are eyelets on either the front or rear dropouts.

The ad states that he doesn't know the manufacturer. Definitely not RBW. Looks like maybe a low end Peugeot.

Interesting that you say that because I thought maybe the fork looked like it could have been from a low-end Peugeot.Frame not sure. U08's had those funky, kind of neat stepped lugs like this. Someone's quite nice restoration below
