I would like to offer up my latest project, to make room and $ for the next project (a 1992 dark green RB-T; zounds!)

A circa 1987 Ritchey TimberComp/Wolf frame fillet brazed by the wizard. Color is red, size is medium/large ( 21" c-t ST, 23"c-c TT, 31.5" SO). Ritchey USA decals are intact except for rubbe on the drive side headtube. Frame has some minor scratch/rubbe/paint fade beausage. Non driveside chainstay crimped after-the-fact for crank clearance (Sound and not-too-ugly). No other dents.

Built up de-luxe as a 2 speed all (reasonable)-terrain cruiser, as follows;
Wheels; Paul SS hubs, 32h, wheels are quite decent, unlabeled but look like Mavic
Tires; Schwalbe Marathon XR 26x2", 250 miles or so
Cockpit; Riv Bullmoose 150mm bar, Portuguese cork grips, Suntour power ratchet barend shifter on RH side, Paul Canti levers
HS; Original Shimano HP6207
BB; Phil Wood SS
Tensioner; Paul Melvin mounted to derailler hanger
FD; Shimano Deerhead
Front Brakes; Paul Retro Canti
Rear Brakes; Suntour Cunningham Rollercam mounted under chainstays
Saddle; Sprung Brooks Conquest "All-Terrain"
Crank; earlier White Industries 175mm
Rings; Real 7075 Al, 46t & 34t excellent
FW; Claws 22t
Water Bottle Cage, Bags & Pedals not included

Asking prices
$ 400 for frame, fork, headset, and rear brakes; shipped CONUS
$ 800 for complete bike; shipped CONUS
will discuss & dicker all other combinations
Will entertain all reasonable (or entertaining) offers.
Email for more photos or answers.

Thanks Again, Kind Rivendell Folks
Marc

MAn, that thing is dreamy! What's the stand over height at the top tube, per chance?

Sorry, missed that! Denial might have been the culprit (too big for me) ... Smart build, man, the Melvin and the FD combo is genius!

I've never heard that one! I spammed the group intentionally, hoping
that any possible full-bike buyers (havnig reservation over, or
alternates for the saddle) might know they could efficiently amortize
a portion of their cost!!!

Or, hey, anybody Got Conquest?

Hiya,
Did you see the one attached to the listing? I'll send it to you, in case you didn't. Look for from;Tina in your email. If you need more because you are thinking of giving "the beast" a new home, let me know after checking this photo out.
Cheers
Marc
