Tom Ritchey Ultra Frame & Forks. Extremely rare hand built Tom Ritchey mountain bike specific frame. Built in 1988 and was dressed in 1989 Shimano Deore XT. 17 inches from centre BB to top of seat tube, 21 inches top tube length and 1inch head tube. Prestige steel frame tubing and Shimano dropouts. Finished in the optional metallic silver Dupont paint work. Optional extras at the time include mudguard and rack mounts. Genuine frame stamp under BB shell, 15th Ultra made in 1988. Forks are Rockshox Quadra (1st Version) with 1 inch threaded steerer. Barn find and imported from the USA, hand built Tom Ritchey Ultra frame, with good overall condition for restoration. Previous owner sprayed green rattle can paint over the original Dupont high gloss silver finish, which flakes off very easily. Seems there was no preparation to the original colour before spraying, Some of the original Ritchey decals glue is also still visible. There is little in the way of corrosion, a credit to the quality of the build and original paintwork. Some very minor and tiny shallow dents to the side of the top tube and chain suck to rear stay. Tom Ritchey frames in the 1980′s only used Shimano dropouts as it was not until the early 1990′s that Ritchey produced their own. The Ritchey Ultra was the top of the range model of the 1980′s, made of Prestige tubing rather than the standard steel used in the Ascent models. Please check the image of the original 1988 Ritchey catalogue showing the full spec. This particular Tom Ritchey built frame had all option extra’s added for the customer at the frame building stage, including mudguard and rack mounts, plus the metallic silver paint finish. The standard Ultra frame had none of these options and only came in either black or white finish. This Ritchey Ultra frame is truly a unique frame. Completing the frameset this particular Tom Ritchey Ultra was fitted with the 1st version of the RockShox Quadra suspension forks. Surprisingly the forks work great but have also had black rattle can sprayed over the original gloss silver paintwork that can be seen in the images. There is still glue from the original RockShox Quadra decals showing through the black paint, which also flakes away easily from the stanchions. Therefore this hand built Tom Ritchey frame is a very rare find, with that in mind we welcome any sensible offers or part exchanges, please contact with details. Tom Ritchey frames in the 1980′s only used Shimano dropouts as it was not until the early 1990′s did Ritchey produce their own. Please check out our other listings of new, used, modern, vintage and retro bike components! Condition is used, for restoration. Wrapped in recycled packaging and placed.

2016 Ritchey Timberwolf MTB frame size medium / 17 Ritchey Logic steel tubing
ritchey
Comments Off
For sale is my Ritchey Timberwolf frame in. Ritchey WCS Logic’ triple-butted steel. It’s a size medium / 17. In good used condition – a few scrapes and marks here and there, but nothing major – there are some paint chips around the disc brake mount (for ref: Post Mount, takes a 180mm rotor). Only thing to really note is that there is’webbing’ under the gel coat across the frame. I’ve tried to capture this in the photos – if you hover over you should be able to see it clearly. Think there was a run of these frames with this issue – basically the paint underneath didn’t dry before the top coat went on. Takes a 120-150mm fork – optimised around 140mm apparently (but I reckon 120/130mm is the sweet spot). Included in the sale. Ritchey seatclamp (the frame takes a 30.9mm seat post, and has routing for an internal dropper). Ritchey 12×142 thru axle (drive side drop out bolt replaced as the Ritchey one kept undoing – see photo). This item is in the category “Sporting Goods\Cycling\Bike Frames”. The seller is “kerj99″ and is located in this country: GB. This item can be shipped to United Kingdom.

Vintage early 1990s (based on the 1 Ritchey threaded Headset) Ritchey P-23 Mountain Bike frameset (frame and fork). Measures 20 Center to Center ad 21 Center to top with a 23 top tube. Ritchey logic prestige tubing. Tug welded with fillet brazed seat stays to the seat tube. Includes ritchey logic front and rear cantilevers and Ritchey logic comp Headset the Headset is missing the bearings, Upper cup and locknut. I picked it up at a swap meet and I dont know its history. Its too big for me otherwise I would build it. Its in used condition but I couldnt find any cracks or dents. This would be a great starting place for a repaint then build with period correct parts. Or build it as a great retro mountain bike. Serial number is 767 and I just listed it in the Ritchey registry.

New Ritchey Cuadro De Acero MTB FRAME P-27.5 SIZE L 19 WCS Frame
ritchey
Comments Off
Beautiful and extremely light frameset. Tom Ritchey’s legacy for years is reflected in this RITCHEY p-27.5 painting. Manufactured with Ritchey Logic II steel tube, with triple thickness and heat treatment, this frame is made for pure speed with comfort and solidity. The geometry of 27.5 inches has been improved by Tom Ritchey himself since he had already created a similar painting back in 1977. He retakes the look of the Ritchey bicycles that made us dream in the 90s but with the latest technologies as a reward. Thus, the integrated steering reduces 80 grams of total weight, the Postmount disc brake support is fixed on the sheath and the seat post also has an integrated locking clamp. + Designed for a 100 mm fork and 27.5 inch wheels. + Postmount disc brake support.
