A little inspiration for those thinking of beginning a restoration.

If anyone can post the year of the frame I'll update the title accordingly.

Check out the guy;s channel as well, he does lots of other restoration work.

Re:

That's cool - my brother had a grey Ritchey Ascent with yellow decals and black fork BITD. As best I can tell that red one is an 86. My brothers was a bit later - 87 or 88 (bought it used). They switched to cantis front and back a year or so after my brothers model. Interesting fact the Ritchey Ascent and the Rocky Mountain Fusion were the same bike. I had the Fusion - probably a year newer than my brothers - and they were essentially identical aside from the branding on the saddle, stem, etc.
