1990 Ritchey Ultra

1990 Ritchey Ultra:

The Ultra was the top TIG welded bike in the Ritchey line. The seat cluster is fillet brazed but the rest of the bike is TIG welded. The Ultra was usually offered in black or white with the black Shimano Deore equipment. This bike had a Rock Shox Mag 21, in white, sometime in the early 1990's. This was a pretty common upgrade back then.
