Btw, Jeff. I remember that bike! An old school classic if ever there was one. I remember the Ritchey with the different diameter tubes, just not in that clour scheme. How does she ride? Beutifully I bet!
Mine was rigid forks until very recently when I renovated a set of Pace oroginals off eBay. I love how you made the bash guard. I was thinking of ditching my 32t middle for a 34t and the big ring for a bashguard but may try what you have done, to save a few quid
