Bought the bike new directly from Richey. Also bought a Timber Wolf in a smaller size. The bike has been hanging in my garage for over ten years as I have been a Motorcycle Trials,Cross Country and Road Race rider since 1984. My other Bicycle, weekly rider, is a Cannondale Synaps. Had a knee injury and surgery a few months ago and wanted to get back out and do some riding. Fall is upon us and I did not want to ride my Road Bike. Live in NE OHIO and get a lot of snow. Figured why not get out the Richey. I have been going through the clean up and should be ready to ride in another week or two. The only changes to the Richey is, put in a Shimano Bottom bracket set, Schwalbe Billy Bonkers 26" Performance Tire and a new chain. Trying to keep it as original as I can. Only has a few minor scratches that I am going to leave as is. Has all the original decals. I will submit photos as soon as I finish. Can"t wait till I get to ride it again.
Is there a URL where people can read or see more about your bike?
