1986 Ritchey Ultra

[Prodigal Son]

I would go w/ a longer stem. 130mm at least. Ritcheys are notorious for their short top tubes.

I'm sure you're right about the stem. I like the look of the bullmoose bar. I'm going to see how well the bike fits my wife. It's a little small for me. She will occasionally ride it on family bike rides. It's more of a cruiser and just because I've always wanted a Ritchey hanging on the wall in my garage.

Women have shorter torsos and arms so you are right w/ the spec. It will work.

It really needs the black rims and tan wall tires. Looks cool!

You may have heard that tornadoes ripped through the Midwestern United States yesterday. I live outside of St. Louis Missouri. Seven people died in this area. Many more were injured. I drove into the city today to look for parts at the second hand bike shop. I passed this tree on the way. It was intense.

I needed springs for my XT U-brake. I found an Exage U-brake that I could harvest parts from. I installed and adjusted the brakes and derailleurs. Mechanically everything is good. I still need to finish the wheels but the project is coming along.

Looking great, love the black bull moose bars against the white frame!

Ya looks really nice, the bullmoose bars are classy for sure. My son goes to Lindenwood not sure if the campus got hit but I’m glad he’s back home and missed that storm.

The tornado touched down in Clayton and Forest Park. I haven't heard about anything serious at Lindenwood. It was wind, rain and hail in St. Charles County. My house isn't very far from Lindenwood.
