Early Fillet Brazed Rtichey

Hello and happy Fathers day to all the dads.

Here's a couple of pics, for anyone into Ritcheys, of one that I had the good fortune of procuring this past week.

This one falls around late '82 or '83. Its an 18in frame with 24 in wheels. Its a "b" frame which should make it a Mount Tam but not certain given it has the fb biplane fork which were typically meant for the Everest. Nonetheless, the bike is as I found it (gave it a bath tho) and original save for the tires. All bits shown negligible wear but I'll re-lace the hoops in short order as the spokes, for some reason are the only bits that are rusted.


any critique is welcome

Re:

Has anyone else ever stumbled on a 24" wheeled
fillet brazed ritchey with a bi-plane fork before?
