i just picked the frame up off the bay , very nice indeed it has an true temper ox2 sticker and the outline of old astars stickers as for the dings the one on the down tube is accessable via the bottle mount bolt holes and the chainstay ding is not too bad i will post up some pics later, cheers,
Lee.

Ritchey rear dropouts were designed by Tom and produced by Everest in Taiwan back in the day and were available for any company to spec on their frames...similar to spec'ing a Campy or Shimano dropout on a bike. Many companies used them. I even used them on a few models I spec'd back in 94-5.
