Hey, Victor ... you missed a spot.


Back in the summer of 1986, IIRC, I seriously considered an 18" (or 18.5") sized Ultra. Had they had a 16-incher, I might have sprung for one. Didn't know that it had just come out, but respected the Ritchey frames and reputation. Did a test-ride for an hour or so, all over the nearby dirt roads, up the hills and across the small town. Climbed like a mountain goat, was stable, fairly light, and easy to "flick" around. Nice bike. Missed a pre-owned example a handful of years ago, before prices began to really pop.

Yours is turning out really well. Heavily massaged and pampered, perhaps a bit "pimped" even, but it works. Nice job.
