It’s a 22” Adroit #40.
It’s the very first Storck Adroit shipped to Germany in 1991. The original no rise green mc1 wasn’t included when I bought the bike.
I found the pink one recently and it’s a close color match to original.
It’s actually a lug-less Competition. Not a Team Comp. it was a dedicated Team Ritchey race bike made for Gavin Chilcott. Tom made a bunch of Competitions without the faux lugs for the racers.
About 10 years ago, I saw an Annapurna on the Second Spin page and I thought it was the coolest fillet brazed bike I had ever seen. I knew I wanted one and then I saw the price tag. Not a chance of buying one at that price, not to mention finding one in my size.
That bike started my fillet...
I’d like to nominate my 83 Ritchey Competition for
BOTM.
I’m the second owner, the first rode it a few times and then hung it up in his shop for 37 years.
It had a hodgepodge of catalog spec parts but no overall focus.
I decided to black it out with all 83 catalog spec parts minus tires, grips...
