• Hi all,

    It’s a Medium 17” sized retro mtb, possible Ritchey 90’s mtb frame with oversized fork. Has Ritchey dropout but can’t seem to find the model. It’s super light weight so perfect for a CX conversation. Bought it resprayed but didn’t like the colour so resprayed it myself in green camo. No dents

    Parts:

    • Chris king 1 1/8 Sotto black headset
    • Thomson X4 90mm 10 degrees stem
    • Ritchey curve logic 42cm bars
    • Shimano 105 5800 shifters
    • Shimano Deore XT BR-T780 V-Brakes
    • Cheap scratched blb seatpost
    • Titanium flite saddle
    • Xtr m950 hubs on Mavic xc 717 rims ( these were bought brand new and only used a handful of times)
    • Compass rat trap pass 26x2.3 tyres (these are amazing!)
    • Shimano 10 speed cassette
    • Shimno xt deore 10 speed rear mech
    • Shimano xt crankset with 36t chainring
    • Time atac clipless pedals
    • Tu front rack (lightweight custom made rack)

    Everything is in great condition. The only issue with running road shifters with the xt rear mech the shifting only has 6 gears but must say more than enough for me. can throw in shimano Slx 10 speed shifter that works perfectly with the mech and also some easton havoc black alloy risers.

    Hope that is all the info if I have missed anything please let me know.

  • That’s really cool IMO - good price too.

    But I’m sure that’s not a ritchey frame - many many manufacturers used the ritchey drop outs.

    Looking at the tube profiles, my guess would be a late 90s Italian frame .. Likely columbus tubing… maybe even Nemo.

  • Sounds about right. Thanks for the additional info.

  • Even I have built a frame with ritchey dropouts :D
    Does look like a rad frame though

  • cool build. could be into spare shifter + deore derailleur if that becomes available separately

  • Yup. Those hourglass stays, curved Bridge and ritchey dropouts seemed to appear on a lot of high end steel mtbs from the era - perhaps outsourced manufacturing with options to tweak spec here and there.

    I have a decathlon in deda zero uno and have seen v similar muddy fox, bianchi and parkpre in high end columbus tubing

  • this looks rad!! not had a frame like this before tho - would it suit someone 5'10"? If so would love to come n look, where in London are you?

  • this is so rad

  • Bump

  • PM'd :)
