I'd like to recommend you find a later race Ritchey unicrown fork -they don't have a lower bend and transfer shock in a more stable way.
Stronger too.
The frame has a more modern incline, but a earlier fork design (Ritchey 80's).
It's an old Bridgestone MB-2. I believe the fork is indeed a Ritchey, Grant Peterson at his unsuspended finest.

I'll tell you this: when you hit a rock with that bad boy the whole front end starts humming like a tuning fork. But seriously I don't know how much money I'll sink into it as someday I'd like to get a little newer/steeper frame and then a 1" threaded fork isn't going to probably be a lot of use.
