So i got a picture sent of the serial number of the bike.. Besides the three numbers, that dont make much sense by themselves, seems to be an A, barely visible under the plastic guides for the cables.. So if the serial is as i believe A149 the frame would be an Ascent. This serial number scheme is not typical for a welded frame like the ascent, Some ascent frames with this short serial number were made by Tom Ritchey. In the 87 and 88 catalogs the Ascent Comp models look just like my bike, the same Orange 4130 decal, that means that the frames were made with Tange steel designed by Tom and Hand made by Tom, including the fork. The sticker with the moustached guys is now gone, but it read Hand måde by Tom Ritchey..
So i am not 100 percent sure, need to confirm with Ritchey, but I think this is an 87/88 Ascent Comp hånd måde BY tom Ritchey...
