Rob- Very nice build! That is my former bike. It originally was the same orange as the panel with cream headtube and fill. I had it repainted and kept the orange in the panel as an homage to its original paint. I had the steer tube re-done because I liked threadless better (gasp!).
Here's a link to the original spec sheet if you want to know more about tubing and sizing, etc. Enjoy! I am so happy it's someplace where it's get ridden!

Took it out on it's maiden voyage this morning. Kind an atypical Riv build these days..fenderless, fairly light, non-threaded headset, etc. I built it up with stuff laying around and some newer mid-level Shimano parts. Ride was fantastic....light, quick, climbed and descended the biggest hills I could find quite nicely....felt nice. I think we've got sunshine for a few days so hopefully I'll get in a few more rides. Oh and no slippage from shifters or back wheel;).
