This project has been on ice for the past few weeks. However, the snow is quickly melting here, so I've made some progress recently to get it ready to ride ASAP! I built the wheels with XTR hubs and Mavic M231 rims. The Smoke and Dart combo seemed like the perfect choice! For the fork, I...

Great theme for this month! Here’s mine : @Guigui58 1985 Miyata Ridge Runner SE. The Ridge Runner SE shares the same triple-butted, lugged frame as the standard Ridge Runner. However, it came equipped with a full Deore XT groupset and extra braze-ons, including mounting points for a third...

I received the new decals in early January and finally got around to applying them. Now it looks like the real deal! I got them made by retrodecals, highly recommended 👍

Interesting, thank you for the information! I like that they're making new Megabites, I might grab a pair! They would be perfect for this Ritchey. For now, though, they seem to be out of stock or still unreleased. No issues with the front brake cable yet

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the giant tire logos either... Good idea to black them out! These Vittoria Mezcal tires are some of my favorites for all-around use, so I've been tolerating the logos so far 😂

Sorry, I don't know the brand or model of these pedals. I found them on a bike I repaired some time ago...

Some updates: I ended up buying the Ritchey Ascent Comp! The holiday break gave me plenty of time to work on it. The biggest task was cleaning the frame and fork. The previous owner had it stored next to his workbench, where he worked a lot with resin and silicone. What looked like dirt was...

Thank you all for the advice and knowledge, I had fun reading Ritchey catalogs this morning! I talked to the guy, he agreed to lower its price to 500$ CAD. I'll go have a look this afternoon; depending on the condition, I might just take it at that price. Good thing it is a short drive from...

Exactly! Although, to be fair, the price in Canadian dollars (1000$ CAD is around £550).

Yes, I have not seen a lot of Ritchey with that paint job online! From what I can see in the other pictures, it is covered in dirt...

It is listed for $1,000 (!), but the seller seems open to letting it go in the $400–$500 range (CAD).

I'm tempted to buy an old Ritchey Ascent Comp that has been listed for a while on Marketplace near where I live. The seller is asking way too much for it, hence why it has not sold yet. However, he is willing to lower its price. The thing is, I don't know much about this model. I've always...

Do you mean the cable stop for the front derailleur?

Some updates : I finally got around to taking my "new" 1992 Rocky Mountain Vertex apart! Fortunately, nothing was seized or damaged. As expected, the frame is in excellent condition overall. I found no cracks or dents, and the paint is still in fantastic shape. Of course, the decals are all...

I would never 😂 I actually went the opposite way, past Québec city. As noted by fluffychicken, the Altitude was the top of the line "standard" steel bike in 1992. It came with Tange Ultimate Superlight tubing and a full XTR group, the very first year it was available. I agree that the Blizzard...

I just got home from picking up this 1992 Rocky Mountain Vertex. Handbuilt in Canada, the only year the Vertex didn't have an aluminium frame! I actually bought it a few weeks ago from a guy on Marketplace, but needed to find the time to make the 2 hour drive to pick it up... It's officially...

I also believe that this frame was made after 1990. If I had to bet on a year, it would be 1991; it just looks so much like the one in the picture I posted above!

Yes they did! The 1991 Hammer below is from a member of this forum and looks very similar.
