Thrift shop ritchey

[DrDaveTampa]

Dude is asking $350. Thinking I might should jump on it. Thoughts?

It's a bit battered but defo worth it for a u brake Ritchey with original fork.

 

[Mod-Master]

Defo worth it I say.

Tig welded -- outback maybe? XT rd and hubs, XT u brake, fc 6206 cranks

Bit spendy ( 100 bucks too much if not a fillet brazed Ritchey and beat to h like it is) but i would go for it since it´s my size.

Eh that's alright, it's a not-for-profit... Any extra goes toward putting a poor kid on a bike

Ok I don't hear anyone saying "aw those things are a dime a dozen" ... I'm in. Thanks for the emergency price check

Definitely worth rescuing.

Nicely equipped. $350 seems a bit spendy to me though. $ 250ish would be a fair offer for me.

Probably an 87, not finding a ton of info out there. The Ascent described in this article isn't a bad match ... Tig welded 4130 ... XT rd and Deore fd ... Cranks don't match but otherwise... Maybe? Should be fun to ride anyway.

Late 80s Ritchey geometry. Rigid fork working together w/ frame design.. something that got lost when susp forks came along. Never tried one and i would love to.
