Hello all,
I was lucky enough to pu this fb Ritchey recently and thought I'd pose the above question.
Original owner sold it to me. He raced this in Eastern Canada back in the day and had the frame repainted at some point by Marinoni. they did a great job and he had the rear triangle chromed too.
I bought it with a Tange big fork on it but he also supplied me with the original fork. It had been repainted first in black then in lime green. what you see in pics is stripper and elbow grease to bring back the original paint job.
notice the braze ons on the frame, for a portage strap.
Nice solid 19in fb Ritchey that will get a nice build, but is a Commando still a Commando after repaint...
enjoy your day/evening all
