Actually noticed this, which seems to be the way to go to get the R3 frame, if you can find your size and/or live with colors available.. I think it's a 2018 model config (though frame didn't change going to 2019).

Sorry, my post was specific to DIY, not having an LBS build it.

R&A is in Brooklyn, NY and I might be on Long Island in the fall. I'm seriously thinking about stopping by their shop with cash in hand. The R3 frameset is under $2300.
