1986 Ritchey Ultra

Does this bike check every box for an 80s build? Let's see:

Bullmoose bar, check
Chainstay U-brake, check
Shark tooth, check
Shark fin, check
Skinwall tires, check
Biopace rings, check
Hite Rite, check
Turbo saddle, check
Roady headset, check
Thumby shifters, check

I don't think this could be anymore "80s Americana" if you clicked on the pictures, and Kenny Loggins, "DangerZone," started playing in the background.

That's a decent check list ticked off!
 
Ditto. Unreal how much a good OG pair is going for these days.
Over the past week my wife and I have gone on a bike ride with my little boy a few times. My son on his little 24" wheels, Trek MTB that I built for him, me on my Monster Fat and my wife on the Ultra. I cringe a little each time she rides on those tires. I really need to switch the wheelset with the Bridgestone wheels. I think the Megabites need to be for display only.
 
Kinda have my eye on House of Looptail's Snake Belly tires (he has a presence on Facebook). He keeps threatening to re-release the Megabyte, although for what I use my Ritchey for, the Snake Belly would be about perfect
I hear that. Just dropped a pair of Kenda K-Rad onto my Ascent Comp yesterday on the "non-slick wheelset" for multi-type trails. They are basically a knock off of the Holy Rollers (BMX).

And yes, am watching with crossed fingers that House of Looptail manages to produce a legit Megabite - would be damn nice.
