Is that the famous saddle Rumpfy disrespected

Maybe someone could post a pic of their Annapurna. I'd love to hear the backstory on how one would end up with one of those.

No, he's putting this up here with the hope that someone will post their Ritchey and say they were thinking about selling....the Rumpfy pounce .

Lol! Yep, this thread pretty much plays out like a list of bikes for me to make offers on.


I didn't know that was one of Tom's personal bikes. That ups the cool factor for sure! I like it.


I'll post a picture of the one Ritchey I have...not a finished product yet.
Still waiting for my P-23 to come along.

[Upchuck]

I finally finished the TimberComp I got from Bushpig. I'll take some pics today and post.

Get it in 1983.

Here's TR with my '90 P-23 team at the Ride for Rwanda, cool helmet I'll post more pics soon

[pinguwin]

cool helmet

I saw Tom Ritchey outside of Moab, probably 1999. There aren't a lot of areas near Moab where the falls are going to be soft and he wasn't wearing a helmet. The guy who with with Ritchey said that he rarely wore one. If so, he is a smart man in some ways, though maybe not so in all, imho.

I've only needed my helmet twice so far, both times involving wooden items of biological origin. When in Moab or the desert, other parts have taken the hits.

TR showed up at this charity event without a helmet and maybe because of insurance requirements he needed one. The start/finish was at a well known biker bar so he just borrowed a helmet from one of the biker chicks.

[kb11]

Looks like they are having the same Rwanda ride in 2007 http://www.50mileride.com/

It was a very worthy grassroots cause and I'll be riding again with a different Ritchey

is the guy who wears a standard Giro helmet and regular riding gear dumber than the guy who does the same ride with full body armor and a full face helmet? I dont think so.

[kb11]

reminds me of a saying "If you have a $5 head, ware a $5 helmet" or something like that

[hollister]

a small pile of frames(where did all the forks go?! ), a red and white something or other, and a p-21 rumpfy wants nothing to do with.

(no camera today, pics tomorrow)
