FS: 1985 Ritchey Ascent (XXL/23”) – $1300

[Luke Hendrickson]

I’m moving along my vintage Ritchey mountain bike as I’m just not riding it all that much (my Riv’s just too much fun!).

Made by Toyo for Ritchey, almost all of this is first gen Shimano XT (Deer Head) along with some super rare high flange black XT hubs. The rear brake’s a Suntour roller cam u-brake. The current tires (not pictured here) are NOS Tioga Psycho II tires from the early 90s and shred super hard. Superlative handling that’s very zippy and fun. Full hand brake levers from Suntour, a worn in Brooks B17 saddle, nifty olive paint job, 45-36-24 chainrings, and a cute lil’ Velo Orange bell top it all off. Feel free to ask any questions. I’m open to reasonable offers and also wish to sell this locally (greater Bay Area).

No problem!

If that's a Suntour roller cam brake, it would have been designed by Charlie Cunningham.

Regards,
