information on ritchey frames
can any of you unload a bit of information on ritchey mtb frames from prob the late 90's early 00's
i have tried searching google style but just come up with his current products, things i'm looking for are:
identification marks, how to. (other than on the dropouts)
and expected cost (frame only)
if this criteria is too wide i will try to narrow it.
many thanks

T.R. frames use smaller seatubes that flare at the bb shell to make it flex less.
The seatstays are brazed into a clump behind the seatpost and the seatpost binder bolt hole is drilled through the clump.
I ride a '90 T.R. Would like a new NiTi.
I would look for a used one. (NiTi)

German mtb'ers have a thing for 'old Toms' bikes -hope they didn't scoop them all on you.
Good luck finding one, not enough o's in smoooth to describe the ride.
