Lovely frame. Any pics of the original fork? The frame is TIG welded.

The sound of wings flapping like thunder...

Nice bike, I'm after a bare frame+rigid forks set ages ago, let me know in PM or here if you are ready to sell.
Cheers,
Endre

I'm with the keeping it votes but yes, do what works best for you. I personally prefer riding bikes of this era to modern equivalents. Some riders modernize vintage bikes as well. Not my thing but you could add a shorter stem/riser bars and go single front with a big range on the back for gearing. Looks like XTR M900 rather than XT, prices I see locally in Canada and eBay are nuts for this first gen XTR.

TIG welded beauty of a Ritchey frame it is

That ritchey is very nice. Would't mind owning one myself.

Beauty! I have a black P-21 team, but no where near the condition of yours. If you do decide to keep, would you consider parting with the fork ?

Lovely - I’d keep it and keep it for eternity

That's really nice. I have a 1997 Project 20 (and a 2014 P Team) and Ritchey's are incredible bikes to ride. You shouldn't sell it.

Such a cool frame! I'm loving my P-29er and Swiss Cross but these 90's frames are truly legendary.
