*WOW*Classic Ritchey timber Wolf - $800

[GearlessinSeattle]

This looks amazing!
Even for a repaint that seems to be a fair price in my book.
But, I don't know what Ritchey's are worth.

Its Tig'ed so it is like a $400 bike.

Yeah, nice parts but no rear brake. It is either an Ultra or an Ascent.

So it's a fake? So to speak.
I did notice no rear brake, and you can see the cable hanging off the bottom.
It at least looks nice.

yes, that's been up for a while. I compare it to the guy in nyc tring to sell his camo Ritchey. This one is in better shape, but they are both in the $800 to $1000 range, when they should be in the $300 to $400 range.

No it is real but it is not a Timber Wolf. It is most likely a Ritchey but a lower end Japanese built frame. Still a great bike. I own an Ultra and it is my favorite. The Timber Wolf however was very high end, Fillet brazed by Tom Ritchey himself and they are much more valueable.

Timberwolfs were actually both Tig'ed and fillet brazed. More typically Tig'ed.
