Lets see pics of what you've got!
Former owner called me yesterday to tell me he had sold this bike to a member of this forum, for an amount that I will let the new owner reveal. Old owner thanked me for putting him in touch. I won't identify him, but I'm pretty sure the new owner will 'fess up in this thread soon.A guy calls me up and says he bought a Ritchey from me in 1981. Says he hasn't ridden it for a while, do I want to buy it? I told him I am well supplied with that item, but I would like to get some photos of it.
We meet for the photos, and i have to say it almost makes my heart sing, because this bike was USED UP! He raced it all over California for about ten years before retiring it, he broke and replaced about half of what came with it including the fork and Bullmoose bars. Says he had to have the rear wheel rebuilt 'cuz he trashed the rim, but the front wheel that I built is still original. Ahem.
Paint is original but trashed. I didn't ask why it had Tomaselli levers instead of Magura, but I should have.
