    1984 Ritchey Timberwolf. All together, time to test ride!

    Re: 1984 Ritchey Timberwolf. Big box arrives. Fun day ensues. It made it, the wait is over. I had to do some sleuthing though-returned home from work at 12:15 with the rest of the day free to wait for the truck, they rarely come this way before 2PM or so...not today, the door tag said I...

    1984 Ritchey Timberwolf. All together, time to test ride!

    Re: 1984 Ritchey Timberwolf incoming. Finally, one my size. Another update: Late-night scouring of ebay has netted a poorly listed rear Dura-Ace/RM-20 wheel. It was listed as 'Shimano Japan Hub with Araya RM-20 Rim' with a BIN of $19.99. :mrgreen: We will see what the condition is...

    Re: 1988 Cannondale SM1000 Red Shred Very nicely done so far, congrats! I didn't know guides were available at Vintagecannondale, I just broke one last fall on my '88, nice to know.

    1984 Ritchey Timberwolf. All together, time to test ride!

    Re: 1984 Ritchey Timberwolf incoming. Finally, one my size. Thank you, sir. The levers are very good, not perfect, but similar condition to the bike. Same with the grips, ODI Mushrooms: And bars, with the rest of the parts: These are Nitto/MountainBikes/Specialized bars-with apologies...

    1984 Ritchey Timberwolf. All together, time to test ride!

    Re: 1984 Ritchey Timberwolf incoming. Finally, one my size. Alright, it's been shipped. Hopefully arriving next Tuesday. For now, a few more parts for the build: Tommaselli Racer brake levers, assuming I'm not going to be happy with the Dia-Compes. I've had these for a dozen years...

    1984 Ritchey Timberwolf. All together, time to test ride!

    Re: Thanks! I've been cruising old Ritchey pics and the catalog scans available, I'm very curious when this bike was built. The AT crankset and Dia Compe brakeset are referenced in the '83 catalog, but by '84 there was more a full Shimano spec going on. The date codes on the parts will tell...

    1984 Ritchey Timberwolf. All together, time to test ride!

    Hello, It's been some time since I posted, hope you all are well. For many years I have been searching for a fillet brazed early/mid 80's Ritchey to replace my Timber Comp-at 20", it's too small. Last week a 1984 Timberwolf, #1B41, came up on ebay...21.5", not exactly the frame I'd been...

    New "Vintage MTB" Website in U.S.

    Re: Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye on that. I'm in the states. The vintage scene in the USA was effectively killed before it started. MTBR's VRC forum alienated so many people in the last 10 years-sadly it was usually the first (and last) place on the internet anyone with an older...

    1991 Authier (by Ferraroli) Taxi

    Very cool! I tried to buy one of these about 5 years ago locally-it was a bit unusual as I am in Vermont, USA. We have a lot of ski resorts here and I always wondered if there was some connection. It was a full Deore group (like your rear mech) as you said. I wanted to buy it desperately but...

    1986/87 Ted Wojcik Fillet Brazed - Builder's Bike

    Wow. That's off the charts! Mr. Wojcik is one of the most under-rated builders out there, how the tubes can be fused without a trace of weld puddles is beyond me. Great pic of him at work, thanks for posting that as well. I have a '97 fully suspended Soft-Trac, it's one of my favorites and I...

    The best cycling forum ?

    I like bicycles. Cyclists? Not so much. I know this seems confusing but any attempt at further explanation gets very muddy and will put a lot of you off, even though I'm not referring to you. It's the reason I prefer this site to the others. The only thing that truly drives me crazy are...

    The widest rims you have ever seen?

    They actually started wider and then went narrower. Coming from steel, I'm assuming it took a bit of time for people then to trust the durability of aluminum rims. One of the first true MTB rims was the Ukai 26 x 2.125", I believe they were introduced in 1978 or '79. Here is Gary Fisher...

    the unofficially cool MTB drop bar thread

    Marcinski, Woz, thanks for your input. I believe I have located the exact matching FD for these shifters in the correct size and pull (imagine that) so I hope to be shifting all 18 soon. In the meantime I may try your method Woz, I have a couple mechs hanging around.....

    ARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!! I'm sick of compatibility issues....simple changes on all my bikes this winter has turned into a daily search for minor parts! This is my drop build, 1988 Cannondale SM700. It's perfect! Unfortunately I've tried 3 MTB front mechs with the old RX100 brifters and nothing...
