Ridgeback 602 MTB

Hi, I'm hoping to get more info and a date on my Ridgeback MTB. I've changed the handlebars, tyres and seat, but the rest is unchanged.

We do have a few catalogs in the archive https://www.retrobike.co.uk/archive/categories/ridgeback.437/ but it looks like yours is a bit older, already End of 80ties I would guess.

@boy"O"boy has posted once an review of 1989 portfolio

and there are somewhere in the Forum a few pictures of an 1986 brochure,

maybe still helpful, but maybe yours is in terms of age somewhere in between 1986 and 1989?

Great thank you! Yes I was thinking it may have been late 80s early 90s. Just the writing is unusual and haven't been able to find any examples of it!

That’s mid 80s. I have an 89’ 602lx hangin up in my shop, my very first MTB. Not a huge expert on the earlier models but I’d put yours at 85/86ish.
Great thanks! Enjoying learning about them
