Really neat early ’80s fillet-brazed Ritchey road frame came in for a Phil bottom bracket onto which a set of Mavic cranks got bolted. Best thing about this old beauty is it’s going to get ridden and not stuck on a shelf. 😉
Funny thing, on my flickr page, someone added this photo to a gallery of Tom Ritchey road frames. Looking at the photos, I think to myself “I’d really like to have a Ritchey road frame,” only to remember, “duh, I already have a fillet-brazed Ritchey road bike.”
That’s a tiny head tube

TR's fillets were things of beauty. Don't know when he quit building, but my used TR "Road Classic" fillet-brazed frame, bought back in ~ 2000, from a gent that owned a shop in Texas (and sponsored a TR-mounted team), might have been one of the last. Man, I loved that frame–rode it everywhere, incl. off-road, shod w/ 26mm CX tubbies…surprised a number of mountain bikers on the Santiago Truck Trail. Was just a bit too big, so it's (sadly) long gone.
How about some photos of your Ritchey road bike too?
My Ritchey needs some work before it can be presented. Winter project.
