Fingers crossed it turns up on here. 🤞

Yes! Was going to bid, but no time or space, so next best thing is helping someone get it! 👍😎 Live in Ealing so big too far from Harrow. Looks like a beauty! 👍👍👍

Brain fart on my behalf! 🤯 They are becoming more common these days 😬. Yes I should have said 16”, not 16.5” and indeed they come up big as they measure C to C. The only 0.5” size is the tiny 14.5”. Being a shorty all my bike including roadie and track frames have sloping top tubes. 👍😎

Interested in the white Turbo. Any splits or marks? Does look mint from the limited view of the one photo. 😀 When you say not original, what do you mean? Not Selle Italia, so a copy? Or just produced by Selle Italia at a later date rather than period correct (80s/90s). Many thanks! 👍

Lovely Zaskar by the way. I always rode a 16.5” one so a 20.5” is a beast of a frame!!!

This is from @Peachy! There’s a Sticky thread under Retro MTB Chat called Restoration/Renovation hints and tips thread links: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/superb-leather-saddle-repair-kit-that-actually-works.415721/

A M A Z I N G ! ! ! What a great thread with lovely amounts of detail and awesome photography. Bike looks absolutely amazing and looks like a beauty to ride. 👍:cool:

Not located too far away from me

What a beauty! Lemon flavoured Orange done to perfection. 👋👍:cool: Love the family shot!

Love that! :cool: As above, will cost a small fortune getting it to the UK...

Not sure on headtube size, but @legrandefromage has some chrome spinner forks for a bargain price that could work with this frame. Steerer may be the wrong size and perhaps too short, but look wise would match the chrome rear triangle well...

I don’t blame you! I would have got it, but no chance of me getting up to Cheshire anytime soon so had to try and ignore which I have completely failed to do! Look forward to seeing a build thread on this beauty.

Looks like you've cut them a little short?! Were these complimented by a ripped and tanned torso just like JMC back in the day? 😜 Back to the bike itself. What an absolute beauty. Great to see how this has progressed over the years and well done sticking with it. I'd be grinning from...

W O W ! ! ! What a beauty bike and some great shots. Those tri-colour Ritchey's sure left their mark in the 90s with numerous XC wins.

Wonder why they opted for a caliper front brake? Strange if this was an "ATB" as the front brake is where you want bite/power, something calipers are not known for. I was thinking it is the skinny legs on the leading link forks, but then you have skinny rear seat stays... Can anyone enlighten me...
