Prepare items still missing bars fillet brazed bars

Why the rack on the rear ? Is it a joke ?

Nice frame ! Is it really your size ?

I know it is a bit strange , but only few model of Ritchey MTB that you can install a rack and commando is one of them. It is exactly my size .

Great project,

I'm personally a big fan of rear racks on mountain bikes, great for going long distances, liking the combination of the yellow forks with the camo paint too (though I guess you'll probably paint the forks to match?).

I might possibly leave out the kickstand though....

Have you seen the Fillet brazed bullmoose bars on ebay USA right now, not cheap but would look the bizness imho.

Sorry mate but in my opinion he f#$*d up your frame... :-(

Re:

I suggest using the term "fucked up the frame" is a bit harsh ... for the frame is in fine condition, really. its just that the color combination is now a tad subtler or more pastel than were the original ones ... and its up to the owner/buyer whether or not he is happy with the end result.
