1987 Richey Ascent Homecoming

[Canuckbiker]

As mentioned above I recently decided to treat the old girl to a couple upgrades: Ritchey ForceLite handlebar and Nitto S-65 seatpost. Nice making something I already love just a bit nicer

Nice upgrades, that post is particularly fine, just pushes the bike that bit closer to perfection

Agree those Nitto seat posts are really nice

Perfect additions to an already very nice bike.

Side note: Crazy that this seatpost is in production since (at least) 1988. I love the Japanese for their occasional refusal to change something that just works.

Ditto the above comments!

I just bloody love this bike!!!

Feels ahead of its time and also looks timeless, classic and understated. The frame is beautifully engineered and executed: where form & function are in perfect harmony.

Sounds like some design bullshit from one of my client presentations, but in this instance what I wrote I believe is very true!

WOW!!! Do you ever do nice work Dave.

Just made my way through the full thread, top work as usual Dave . The bike looks fantastic!
