Genesis Volare hands down if you can't get a ritchey! They are lovely! They come up on eBay fairly often if you can't stretch for a new one.
I have an 853 one with Enve fork that has been blasted which I will repaint and put up for sale soon... but it's a 54 I'm afraid! Also have a brand new ritchey logic to pain too, but is 53 also too big you!
I'm painting a 931 volare for a project I'm working on with Genesis at the moment, and it really is a stunning bit kit.... by far the best quality factory made steel frame I've ever had my hands on. The welds are stunning. Not cheap at RRP tho.
Have you tried emailing Paligap? They may have a ritchey in your size with chipped or marked paint from shipping/storage/display that they can't sell online knocking about.... I've bought paint defect frames from them before.
