Build thread here
https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1987-richey-ascent-homecoming.438852/

Bought new from the Bike Shop in Calgary Alberta in 1988. Frame/fork/stem/seatpost only, and build up with parts from what I was riding at the time, many XT upgrades over couple years following.

Full restoration last December/January.

The most miles I’ve put on any bike have been on this one

Was going to enter my marin, but realised the only original bits are the frame and the crank arms...

Might be pushing the limits a bit.....although all the stuff dates from pre 92 when i bought the parts for the bikes various upgrades.

That is an awesome old Marin. Looks great with the Tange forks
