1984 Ritchey Commando - UK

[Tsundere]

Unpopular opinion alert - as much as I would love to own it, that colourway is an abomination for me. The paintwork has been beautifully executed, but personally I would much prefer to see that frameset in pretty much any colour paint over that.

The frame, forks and bar are out of this world though, stuff of dreams.

I hear you, but I´ve come to terms with the camo paint. Not that I really like it now, but I respect it for it´s significance. Probably made easier by the beautifully built frame. If one would come up in my size for a fair price (like in the previous ad on here), I´d be very tempted. Any other frame in camo paint- no thanks.

Agreed, I'd love to own it, and I respect the iconic status of the paintwork, just don't like it.

@Tsundere the paint is certainly a Marmite choice. I personally like it, but it reminds me of a Raleigh Commando. However don’t Google it because the camo will be completely different!

These fillet brazed frames look amazing in a solid colour and that head tube/top tube/down tube intersection looks totally gorgeous especially as the head tube is short effectively creating one giant fillet of loveliness!

I think a deal has been done behind the scenes as it's no longer for sale. Okay own up, who bought it?

Yeah briefly up for a grand, then ended. Fair price if it was indeed what it sold for. I was hoping it was you
