Info about a frame with Ritchey dropouts ?

[Bart_75]

Hi,

Recently picked this frame up, and i'm very curious about it.
I'm thinking that it's a titanium frame,i'm pretty sure it's not alluminium , i just don't know what builder made this.
Maby somebody recognize this frame. It has Ritchey dropouts and also very sadly a ditch at the top tube .
I hope someone recognize it.

Regards
Bart

It's a Ritchey.

Bontrager ?

It's a Rocky Mountain, probably a Blizzard, but could be a Hammer or Altitude. Definitely not a Ritchey, RM used Ritchey drop outs for most of their steel frames. Nice find.

1995 model what ever it is, if the serial number is like normal.

Given it steel, it's not a Rocky Mountain.

Bike-tech / MuddyFox / another one took over that style frame design...

Pretty confident it's a Ritchey still.

In my case i think also the closest is the rocky mountain but the cable guides of a Rocky running sidewards instead of upwards @ the top tube.
So it's still a bit confusing, but thanks anyway for the reactions , now i have a more research info to identify this one.

And i figured out the titanium vs steel case : i did a simple test with a magnet.
Steel is magnetic compared to titanium that is nonmagnetic , and tadaaa.... it's magnetic so it's a steel one
My god ....that i did'nt come up the idea before :facepalm:

Right, not a Bontrager :facepalm:

That rear brake guide is really bugging me...looks really familiar, but maybe it's been on a load of other frames. I agree that it's not a Rocky due to the cable guides, even though it looks a lot like the Equipe that I had. Also, the Rockys I've seen with Ritchey dropouts have had flatter dropouts, not the slightly recessed ones above.

So that hasn't helped at all has it?

That's got Ritchey written all over it.
