Have i been here that long, i do Love a Graffiti, Amazing Finish, I voted for the winner in 2011. I cant believe its been so long. Gald to see another.

It’s been a long, long time! It’s still pulled out and muddied up from time to time. It’s my goto CentreParcs bike and is great for sustrans tracks

You love to see it!

Especially if you have a soft-spot for both mud and AC QR's!

Ah, sod it.

Just so I can finally put the last nail in the "first build" coffin, here's mine...

Dirty, loved and well-used already!

Ridiculous, overly long build thread here: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads...ized-s-works-m2-finished-pics-page-16.426559/

And now no one ever has to look at, or hear about it ever again!

Sweet sweet candy!

Not sure if I even belong competing with all of you who do such wonderful jobs of restoring bikes I’ve rarely heard of yet alone seen. I am however proud of the journey I took with my first ever “high” end bike. I am still a nube when it comes to this hobby but I learn new things all the time. I know the tires on this bike are, well tired but they are original and I am struggling to source replacement that 1 I can afford and 2 that I can actually find lol.
Here it is the Watchman123’s 1989 Ritchey Ultra and the accompanying build thread found here https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/1207107-mid-80-s-ritchey-ultra-build-ser3009.html

God damn!!!!

I'm also signing up here, one more month with great bikes and that will be impossible again, but it will be fun again.

My Rocky Mountain The Edge 1993

Rocky Mountain The Edge 1993

Months ago I started this project by chance. I had the frame but it had been gathering dust for a long time. I even got to advertise it for sale. But one afternoon, a friend sent me a photo, taken from a magazine. My friend did not know that I had that frame. And I liked the idea. My head...

Gawd! This is turning into an even harder nastier gruesome battle than last month!

To misquote Frank Zappa- 'That Ritchey is pretty white!'.

velofrog · Oct 10, 2021

Yeah, that Ritchey Ultra for me is like the Landshark Dirtshark last month, the epitome of a Retrobike…. absolutely super-cool
