go to
www.oldmountainbikes.com... look for your serial number on the bottom of the bottom bracket... the website will tell you how to read the serial number and figure out the model and year... Tom wasn't real consistient on his serial numbers from year to year...
I have a 79' Palo Alto Ritchey Road, an 85' Timber Wolf, and a 95' Crazy Pete... Tom gave me the 79' Palo Alto in 1980 when I was 15 years old.

The shop I worked at during from '84 to '88 carried Ritchey mountain bikes. I own an '85 Commando. It has a fillet brazed frame and tig welded bullmoose bars. Camoflage paint job. Custom paint was common during that time.
