Reposting with the correct size in the title, I've since discovered Riv uses (used?) C-T for their frame sizes. 

I've decided to go a different direction mid-build. This one is well used, but no dents or dings. Took pics of a couple spots of missing paint, but the paint has wear all over the bike. I can take more pics if needed. I have a brand new set of QB decals and headbadge, so this is a perfect candidate for a new paint job!

Measures 58cm from the center of the crank bolt to the center of the top tube, 60cm C-T.

I'm offering this in a choose your own flavor fashion. As pictured it's a total hodge podge. The crank is a VO Grand Cru double that has the inner ring taken off. The front wheel is a vintage Trek take-off, 36h, nothing special wheel.

The rear is the star of the show. 32h Phil flip flop hub, 16-18 WI dos eno one side and  Surly 17-20 Dingle on the other. Currently laced to a Mavic Open Pro, but has hairline cracks on a few of the nipples. 

I'm keeping the pedals, saddle, and seatpost. Cockpit is currently Nitto Deluxe w/ Noodles. I've got other parts in my parts bin.
 
Frame/Fork/Headset/BB price - $800 + shipping from Lawrence, KS. 

If you want parts, we'll put together a package and work on a price.

Nice price for a nice frame. Did you or a previous owner have it painted orange? Well, I guess, since IIRC, orange was not OEM, right?

What is the top tube length on a 58/60 frame?

If I didn’t have one I would buy this. Such a great bike.

Orange was factory, they ran between the green and silver. http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/quickbeam/index.html

I'm quite confident now that this is a 60, and the TT measures at 58 C-C on the 60cm. I know it's factory paint because I can still see/feel the decal lines. I think someone 'de-Rived' it for anti-theft reasons, perhaps?

I'm looking for a Quickbeam but think I'm more of a 62cm.  Whats your PBH and how does this fit?  Do you know the saddle height of the pictures?

Ok this QB is pending now, but to answer your question saddle height in the picture is 73cm to top of the saddle in the middle (directly in line with seatpost). I have no idea on fit because I never built it up, although I suspect for a more traditional drop bar fit, it's too large for me, one of the reasons I'm selling it.

I have a green 58 cm that fits me perfectly (but I may sell it).  When that orange 60 was in my possession the top tube was in my crotch.  For reference, I go through life as a medium with a 32ish" inseam.
