    Podcast about steel with Tom Ritchey on Bike Radar

    Thanks for sharing this, I really enjoyed listening. I found his stories great to hear, especially around how Specialized, Trek and Cannondale changed the industry. I didn't know Cannondale had such a cost advantage back then.

    This is such a great video, glad I found the time watching it in full.

    Ritchey P22 Team

    It's been a while, but I managed to get going again. After pressing in the cups I realised that the steerer is too long and needs more thread. I'm slightly surprised. Why would you cut this fork for any other headset? I think a Ritchey headset is the default choice? I didn't even bother to...

    Any Ritchey Experts?

    Yeah, these indeed existed. There are a few threads on them here on RB. Not many were made though.

    Any Ritchey Experts?

    Is it one of those KHS Montana Teams that were built by Ritchey? Before they went to True Temper? https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1990-khs-montana-team.384508/

    P-23?

    Yes, looks like a genuine TIG P23. Asking price about three times the going price though.

    1991 Rocky Mountain Nimbus

    That is gorgeous! Pretty rare stuff as well. You know what they say about roof racks. They are the framebuilders’ best friend.

    Is it real? - syncros stem

    Seems like a 1” to 1.1/8” conversion sleeve? Stem looks real to me.

    Ti frames, which to keep and which to move on?

    I think the Sparks Joy comment is a very valid one. It’s the ultimate decider for me in many life choices. With bikes, I can lust after an epic frame or part I always wanted to own, but when in possession it happened a few times it just didn’t click with me. I want it to make me happy when I...

    ‘Weight premium….’ Oh how things change….

    Different purpose, different bike. I regularly throw my Stumpjumper Evo into situations where I’m really baffled the bike can handle such abuse. It’s frightening how much a modern day bike can handle. I won’t do it with my light 29’er hardtail. And certainly not with any of my 26” bikes.

    Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt 92(ish)

    A stealth build, in all black? Yeah, one of the options, think it would look good. I’ve seen a Klein Attitude in black with black XT components. Looked pretty good. On this one I’ll see how it‘s going to look with a more funky, unconventional gold ano look. Not too much though. But I’m...
