Tubeset, components, and a bit of geo.Great first post. Beautiful bike.
What is the difference between an Ultra and a P-23?
Nope - not OK. That blend can't be pulled off with white tires and under-bar shifters.What do you guys think about the fork on this, good idea? It's not a Ritchey fork but it's based on a Ritchey design and uses Ritchey tubing. That makes it okay, right?
I actually have a matching Bridgestone frame in the basement. I hate to steal the fork off of it, but I kind of like it on this bike.Someone here on the Seattle CL is posting up looking for that white biplane fork. I think I just found where it went.
My guess is that the longer guide was brazed on later and is not original to the frame. Below are two pics. The red frame is from '83 and gold from around 86. The short guide on your frame matches pretty well is the red bike. The FD cable is routed above the BB using housing. That's probably how your frame looked originally.My question is after looking at recent pics. It looks like the welding is over the ser #> were BB shells stamped before welding? This Bike has had major work on it over the years. Tubes replaced, brakes modified...
Updated picture with original fork installed and XT derailleur.New to me from original owner. 1988 with goodies. I posted up on another forum, however it belongs here as well.
