I agree with the other comments. I think the Rambouillet is a tremendous value these days, because it is not as fashionable, with their caliper brakes and level top tubes. Riv seems to have evolved in their design away from this look.
But they can fit pretty wide tires (35-ish) and handle beautifully. And made by Toyo, which is a top notch framemaker. And it looks very clean and well-taken-care-of. I'd say $1000 is a steal, $1250 is a fair deal, and even at $1500 well worth it if you like everything on it. The Ritchey cranks are low-Q and very nice. Those Ultegra/OP wheels are (again) not the current fashion necessarily but are solid great wheels and fine for up to 35mm tires. Full disclosure--my wife has that same color Ramb with similar components, and she loves hers. Good luck!
