You were too fast for me, I was uploading the photos.

You can never have too many Ritchey handmade bikes.

Re:

I've only ever seen one for sale and not in my size either. The one I'm building up was a result of luck. I posted on someone else's Ritchey thread and another fella said he might sell his. In my size, also a 20"

Yup - the kind of bike you lean against something in the living room, and look at, like artwork.
