1981 Ritchey:

Very nice example of an early Ritchey built bike with a nice mix of parts.  Phil hubs, TA cranks, Mafac brakes, Magura levers, Brooks leather saddle, filet brazed bars and Araya rims.   The Ritchey decals on the down tube have Palo Alto on them and there are "Mountain Bikes" stickers on the top tube and chain stay.
