1991 Vintage Ritchey Skyliner Mountain Bike Tandem
Serial #T248
I’ve owned her for 26 years and have made too many memories to list aboard this gonzo trail-eater for two.
This is a good year because the brakes are good and the 7 speed XT Hyperglide index shifting was dialed. The really early ones don’t shift or stop.
Now my kid is grown, my GF isn’t interested, and it’s time for a new steward.
22.5” center to top Captain
19” center to top Stoker
Captain should be min ~5’11”
Stoker should be min ~5’2”
Rare fillet brazed Tange Prestige tandem made by TR himself.
