Ritchey P21

[Proto2000]

One of my favorites with XTR build and Hugi Compact hubs. Is almost as nice as another bike I will post soon. Got this in early 2000 as frame and fork, seller didn't tell me there was a small ding in top tube but bought it anyway. Seat stays are very flexy so I added the brake booster to help out.

Ripped the fork down since it was not rebounding, Risse Gem was shot. Had a spare and replaced it n now it's like new. Springs in there as well, no elastomers. Did a bit of cleaning, first time this bike has been cleaned by me since I have owned it, 15+ years. Working on ding on TT with a lot of patience, gotta massage that and not do damage. Filler mostly, then some paint if I can find the code.

Love yellow Ritcheys. What size is it? 19in? What year? (looks 20in)

It is a 19" center BB to top of seat tube. Fits me well and the seat post is long, Interloc.

Update on the bike. Had a major changes since the last time I posted. I found a very nice set of XTR hubbed with I believe are Bonty ceramic rims on a bike I bought for, you don't want to know since it was Hella cheap, even the tires were on the wheels and grey sidewalls. I'm sticking with the grey all the way. Hard to find parts that almost match in the color of XTR.
