This is a very nice late 80's era Ritchey Timber Comp hardtail mountain bike with a chromoly steel frame and fork, Shimano Deore XT 3x6 drivetrain and 26" wheels with XT hubs and Araya rims. This model is in nice condition and has been cleaned and tuned. This would make a nice addition to any Ritchey superfan's collection. This frame was handcrafted by Tom himself! A rideable classic.
There is a similar model listed on the internet for $3000, so our bike here is a screamin’ deal! The bike is fitted with two brand new Panaracer tires (Smoke and Dart Classics).
With a 22" effective top tube and an 18.5" seat tube (center-to-center), this bike should fit most riders in the 5'7" to 5'10" range.
