I never really understood how much difference a dropper could make until I mounted one myself on a modern hardtail. It instantly converts my mountainbike into BMX :-)

We have a few people here active who did these runs in the seventies. I really love to hear their view.

Interested, pm incoming

That is steep

Nice very early Wheeler you have there. It is difficult to judge from the non drive side, but it looks all original. Lugged frame and u brakes are cool and rare. What frame tubes are used? I guess it’s 1988 or 1989 or so. Retrobike does not have Wheeler brochures in its archive but I believe...

Thanks, I’ve seen it! It might be I have to source the components individually and build the wheels myself.

It’s just that everyone wants to get rid of their money at the moment. Covid times, government spent billions to protect everyone’s job, nobody has been spending on holidays, travel, restaurants. People are overloaded with created currency.

Some more parts came around. Stem, steerer and brake levers are there, so the cockpit is complete. Practically, I only need wheels, brake cable stop and brakes to be able to start building up.

Looks like a ‘93 Montana Pro

Agree to that!

Thanks. Both amazing bikes!

I have a set, but I've reserved it for this bike. I think they turn up on eBay once and a while. I feel it's more difficult to find a good set of Ritchey brakes that are complete and not scruffy.

I might have missed them?

Does anyone have a wheelset available with Ritchey Vantage Pro rims? Ideally Silver coloured?

A while ago I got hold of this frameset here on this great forum and I've very slowly been collecting parts and ideas on how to build up this beautiful bike. I've always wanted a classic Ritchey mountainbike, but as you know good ones are quite hard to find. And even if they are for sale...
