I've bought several frames from Riv but only one complete bike---a Sam from their 2016 batch. From what I've read or been told, the Sam was assembled in Taiwan, shipped to the US where Riv unpacked it, made sure everything was put together correctly and tweaked what needed to be tweaked, repacked the complete bike and then shipped it to its final home. I never saw any mention of rustproofing, and didn't expect it given its Taiwanese assembly. If it was rustproofed then that's a pleasant surprise, but I think Riv would have mentioned that in their pitch if it were the case.
