Vintage Ritchey Mountain Bike. Used and sold as is no returns. Please inspect pictures and ask questions if you have them. I just received confirmation from ritchey that this is a 1986 from ritchey. Front triangle was tig welded ar the toyo factory in japan,then shipped back to usa where Tom brazed the rear triangle and added brazed ons. Paint work was done by Rick stefani at d&d cycles. Paint and decals are original. Serial #719. I have written confirmation on above via email from ritchey. Bike may have came with slightly diferent parts or possibly upgraded soon after as pictured. This is the original fork though. Bars may be arlier 80s pre 83. Bike is absolutely gorgeous. This bike will never loose value only do the opposite. I purchased this from original owner in the fall. He said it was a 1984 and some special pre accent version. very very clean original. Like a unicorn these days to find. It's been very well preserved by original owner until I purchased it. Sadly I just don't have the space to keep it. Besides it should be ridden or admired not hidden in my garage.
