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...
There's a scammer in the ranks. His name is Adam Rees from the UK and his Paypal name is ADLobster. He sold me a fork on Feb. 14th and I paid for it in full but I have yet to receive it. He has given me a bogus tracking number and has been unresponsive in attempts to contact him.
Don't let this...
I saw those but they're cracked. good for parts.
If anyone has a set of Leader 3's with a 9" steerer tube in 1-1/8" diameter in good uncracked condition, I'm willing to pay $$$.
