1987 Ritchey Ultra:

The Ultra was the top TIG welded bike and usually featured black components.  The black Deore XT stuff really stands out against the white paint of this bike.  This one has been very lightly used and has the entire Shimano Deore XT M-730 components group including the new U brake and 6 speed index shifting.  Ritchey does mention in the catalog that they offer the black components for aftermarket sales as well.
