Ritchey Ascent Comp 1989 updates

[DrDaveTampa]

According to this it was made in the US and there are several examples in the database with a similar numbering scheme and at least one I saw pictured with a Logic fork. Dunno how long TR had that dude welding in his shop but it does look like late 80's geometry don't it. Should be a sweet ride and that fork is just icing on the cake, they dang sure don't make forks like they used to

Speaking of tires, and long as we are spending your money (which is always fun), you're familiar with the Looptail guy, right? They are coming out with a new issue of Megabite tires, which I've been sorta holding out for, but those Snakebellies are something else eh.

Is that cable routing working ok for your front brake?

Nice bike, that's one smoove ride brother. Ready for Pearl Pass

Interesting, thank you for the information!

I like that they're making new Megabites, I might grab a pair! They would be perfect for this Ritchey. For now, though, they seem to be out of stock or still unreleased.

No issues with the front brake cable yet

Agreed on the Megabites, mine still has the originals.

It's great to see the original paint and decals saved, patina and all. And even better it is set up to be ridden. Lovely bike.
