According to Riv Catalog 3, the largest stock offering of the Road Standard
and LongLow is 65 center-to-top, with 62.5 top tubes.

A Road Standard or LongLow should have a French-text 753 decal on the seat
tube, and 531 decals on the fork legs.

A Road Standard or LongLow will have a Waterford serial, and a "Handmade in
Waterford, WI" decal on the left chain stay.

I'm no authority on early Rivs; these are the facts I dug up a couple years
ago when identifying my bike as a Road Standard.

Yours could be a custom, or possibly an earlier Road model.
