not particularly creative, but it is a closeup.... and it's a tribute to the glorious days of pantographing parts....

Okay. Just a few snapshots. No artwork here. Just snaps.

Overkill, no doubt, but it’s just pretty pictures to share.





NOT the same bike as above.














Nothing significant to speak of here. Just adding to the photos thread.

Oh, well. Now it is definitely overkill.


(I got one, too! It's hanging on the wall above my work bench. Barbie-esque, eh?)


Too darn pretty to use. Somebody want to offer me obscene money for this?


Fat or skinny necks?


Really fat neck final version




Smoothest touring pedals ever made.




Okay. Maybe enough for now. Hope they're entertaining.

@LeicaLad has a couple of ultra-hot Ritcheys. Including the inspirational Ritchey tourer.

Thanks. Yes, it is, but my sig line shows what it is.

I sure don’t want to derail this nice photo thread, but here are far more details than you could ever want to know about my current Ritchey bikes.

On the 84 Ritchey Team Comp:

On the 1980 Ritchey Road/Sport Touring (my grail bike):
