I go there all the time. Once something is "dumped" it's gone, scraped up by the big machine in seconds.A little rusty on the outside, but totally intact... All XT , fillet brazed Ritchey stem... Could not believe someone just dumped it. The weird thing is that it I used to own the exact same bike, and I was reminiscing about it just days before...
Fantastic bike!This bike belonging to a San Anselmo firefighter was one of the first nine frames Tom Ritchey advanced to Gary Fisher in 1979, the launch of MountainBikes.
The owner was relieved of it last night along with an Otis Guy,
Very Cool! I'm the original owner of 9C13, that I had Tom build for me late summer of 85. after over 2 decades of hard riding, with the paint looking pretty rough, the time has come for a rebuild. I've managed to collect most of the needed components for my restoration, with the exception of some NOS brakes. (got any?)Thanks! I'm super happy to have it. Serial number is 9C14, so yeah, it's a 19".
Way cool story!She told me some other things about Tom as her memory began to flicker and he sounded like a genuinely thoughtful man. It was an interesting feeling of some distant-closeness to a man who has work that I find very admirable.
Funny, now there's a Trek hanging in her garage.
Much. Again, nice pick up. Bike just looks like it'll ride great.
