I purchased this new in the 1980's. I always loved the handling, and the short wheelbase (great for wheelies, stoppies and hop turns). I tried a flex stem to try and ease a shoulder injury. Not much help, and I didn't like the flex handling. I used toe clips until my son borrowed it and broke them. Will likely just use flat pedals from now on. I rode this, and my Gios for long miles until life slowed me down. Just bought an eMTB, so the Ritchey will probably only get rare use...

Is there a URL where people can read or see more about your bike?
