BoTM Canuckbiker's 1987 Ritchey Ascent is the August 2022 Bike of The Month

The theme for the August competition was original owner bikes. @Canuckbiker bought the frameset brand new in 1988 from The Bike Shop in Calgary, Alberta. It was treated to a full restoration last year and here it is in all it's glory. Check out the build thread here. You can see all the other entries in the poll thread.

No, moved to Vancouver in 92', its hard to believe it was over thirty years ago. Cowtown was a fantastic place to grow up
