I found this pic of a Ritchey frameset with nice parts.

a nice to road setup for a mtb..I like it.
This is a very similar frame to mine with the same front derailer removal I'm working on. :p
Any knowlage on softride stems?
Magura brakes?
Are suspension forks able to go on headtubes of this angle?
:D

that's a really nice setup. magura rim brakes are pretty strong and good lever feel, too. it should be able to take a suspension fork although probably around a 63-80mm fork at the most. wouldn't put a 100mm fork on it.
