Which model is this Ritchey? + Question about Gary Fisher

[CW]

I consider buying this frame.

Can anyone tell me which model it actually is ? I, as well as the seller, have absolutely no information about it - only that it's for 1.1/8" headset.

And is it genuine? Just heard some freaky stories about people buying fake Ritchey frames from eBay and stuff.

Thanks in advance

Best regards
CW

Looks like a late P-series bike to me - got a serial# ? One of the Ritchey-philes on here will be able to tell you from that.

Looks like a mass produced bike that uses ritchey tubing. It's not a Ritchey made ritchey!

A quick look through here and none seem to use a noodle round the seattube setup

Meh, okay - i'll just keep looking - Thanks for helping!

Really need a neat old frame to go with my xtr m950 group. Kona, Klein, Ritchey, Cannondale - anyone?

Additional question - anyone who can say if this Gary Fisher steelframe is well worth buying and riding ? And what time period is it from?

Looks like a hoo koo e koo from about 1996/7

Id say midrange (cindercone-y) level. Nice but not exceptional.

Cheers Mike!

Ritcheys all share one common feature and that is the fastback seatstays where the seatstays form the seatpost clamp;

also it shouldn't have s bend stays if its a Ritchey.
