Please help identify this NOS frame-Ritchey-Sunn-Voodoo-RM-

[Ax25]

Hi everyone, my first post!
I don't know if I found something really good or if its just a poop.
Also let me say that i don't own this frame ...yet
I found it in a little store, and i don't know if it is worth buying it, or how much its really worth, mostly because I don't even know what it is :?
I have been reading a lot of the topics in this forums and I know someone will know for sure what it is.
I have learned that its probably made by Fuji, probably a SUNN frame, but im not sure.
The thing that is the most rare for me, is that the frame is original GOLD PLATED, i have searched and found nothing about a frame like it.
I have found pictures of nickeled plated and chromed frames, but this one is more yellow, more gold like, and according to the very old owner of the shop, it came like that , and I believe him.
I took a quick set of photos , it has Ritchey dropouts,
it has a serial number in the BB # S95029183
it has top tube routing cables
im almost sure its chromoly , i didnt have a magnet, its pretty light too. It has no rust only a lot of DUST.
I have more pictures but i think i am only allowed to upload 8.
I appreciate all your help and comments

Thank you for your time, i will answer every question !!

Thanks Bartsince1975 for your answer, the thing is, in another similar topic, viewtopic.php?f=1&t=214488&start=10

The user - We_are_stevo - wrote, “except the only pictures of Sunn frames I can find all have the cable-stops on the side of the top tube, not the top”

Also the color of the frame is gold like

So thats why I assume its not a Sunn, but im not sure,

What do u think? Would you buy it?

Sounds lke Nickle that has a gold effect to it

Would I buy it ? ....depends on what the asking price was to be honest

Re:

Frame number could give some answers, S might be Sunn, 95 the year. Frameweight could indicate tubing quality by the way my Sunn frame had a 27mm or 26.8 mm seat tube (long ago, can't remember exact).

If you like the looks and it is your size go for it, can become a nice ride.

My main reason to ask about this frame , is to know if its a quality frame, how much should it weight?
Could it be prestige tubing ?
Thank you very much for your time and answers

By the way, Im writing from México, and I dont get to see good stuff , its really hard to find good, vintage bicycles

Sounds more like Nickel, as that has a gold effect to it

just spat coffee over my desk...... f*** that's cheap

that's around 60 USD, with Ritchey drop outs its not going to be some $2 Taiwanese sweetshop knock off
so I'd buy it and build it up into something nice

Re:

S95… looks like a sunn model number (made 1995, probably sold 1996), but the seatpost split is in the wrong place for a steel sunn frame (should be on the front) and I've never seen a sunn frame with integrated seatpost collar.

That said, the rest looks a lot like sunn, even down to the cable routing. My money's on one of the "specials" - Dix, Chipie, Pré etc.

Actually, there you go. Chipie & Pre routed on the side, Dix on the top and also came in gold.

Also, jump all over it. That's a beautiful frame.
