..wow! the second very nice Ritchey in this month

The quality here is increasing enormously from day to day, it will be again a difficult month to vote. :shock:
All bikes so far are pure retro and it's great fun to look at those bikes.

I helped sell this bike back in 1981 from Yellow Jersey Bicycles in Madison Wi, and tracked the two previous owners until they were ready to sell it back to me...so that i could painstakingly bring back to life.

Parts spec'd to original status, as I sold it.

This is why I love this bike.... an awesome looking bike, which rides great, and a great story and history behind this one. SO glad you tracked it down and have looked after it so well - I assume it's ridden and enjoyed?
