There is also a Riv blog post about the Hilsen tubeset here:

The Homer is made with these tubes, if made in Wisconsin:
Seat tube: True Temper Verus heat-treated CrMo. HT CrMo generally ends up
with a tensile
Continued.
The chainstays are OX PLAT, with the odd wall thickness of 0.76mm. Normal
would be 0.7 to 0.9, with 0.8 being really common, but these are 0.76. Odd,
but fine. They’re good chainstays.
The seat stays are Reynolds double-tapered HT CrMo (725). TruTemp doesn’t
make double-tapered
FWIW:
While chatting w/ Riv folks awaiting my Bomba's arrival, they told me a lot
about how its built. The diagonal mid-tube is the same as the top tube;
and the seat tube is also the same tubing, which gets sized (why it has a
26.8 instead of a 27.2 seatpost); those and the downtube are all
I meant to send this to the list. Saluki is not identical, iirc, but is
similar. Maybe someone from RBW can chime in on that.

Not all Bombas take a 26.8. Mine (an early Diagaversion) uses 27.2, which
thankfully allowed the use of the Nitto lugged set-back post. Could very
well be that all current and future Bombas will be like yours Leslie. I
even seem to recall that the 26.8 post was the original plan. (I even had a
Forget the tubing, somebody needs to buy this custom frame! What a great
bike!!!

Not a one-off, it was, and will be again. For the moment, on the current
Bomba (and the Hunq too, I think), the reason some are using the 26.8 is
because they're using the stouter top-tube for the seat tube, until they
get another tube for use for the seat tube that will allow the 27.2
I bet the reason is the steel was actually rolled to inch dimensions, which
would be 0.030, a common thickness that is basically the same as 0.76mm

At times RBW gives tube specs but usially not. Ram specs are published. You
can search this list archives because i posted themwithin the last year. Or
emsil me and ill send yhem from a device i can actually type on.
