My riding buddy john shocked me the other day with the announcement that he had bought a new bike and was planning on selling the Ritchey P-21 he has been riding since about 1995. I tried to talk him out of selling but in the end just could not let it go to some stranger on Ebay so I begrudgingly agreed to buy it
How altruistic of me...
The bike remains largely as built 20 years ago with Shimano Deore XT mechs, Ritchey Logic chainset, XT thumb shifters, and hyperlite bars. The original brakes were swapped at some point for modern Cane Creek. It has had several wheelsets over the years and currently I have two both with XT hubs, one has Campagnolo hoops the other WCS. The bike also came with several sets of tires so I have some choices there.
Anyway here are a few quick pictures with better ones to follow.
