1987 Ritchey Commando

[sq_root_of_2]

I bought this bike by 'mistake' on Ebay over a year ago. My mistake was that I put in a bid that I was sure would be surpassed but it wasn't. I was happy to get it of course.

It came from the second owner. Neither had ridden the bike much.... if at all.

It is all original.

The huge fillet round the head tube looks luuuurvely. Get it entered for BOTM next month, it's a sure winner!

For me it is a BOTM! If you put some bling on it, perhaps all the others on here will vote for it too!!
