I know you love Riv and this is the RBW list, but a Jones would give you an EBB for easy fixed gear setup, all the braze ons you could ever want, clearance for 3.25" tires, and disc brakes. And it's cheaper.
My Jones LWB is surprisingly enjoyable on pavement, even with 3" knobbies. And off road, it's the best mountain bike I've had. And I've gone through quite a few.
