LFRAME165pic(4).gif (109 bytes)

Ritchey P-21 Team tribute frame: This is NOT a true Ritchey frame.  We are of the opinion that it is a late 1980's era Tomac Mongoose frame made of Tange Prestige tubing.  The paint and decals are in great shape and the bike wasn't ridden after being painted.  It had some parts on it but it was never finished.  There is one scrape on the chain stay, some marks on the drop outs and if you look from the back there are a couple of spots where the blue paint is a little thin.  19" c-t, 22.75" top tube, 1" head tube, 130mm rear, 68 mm bottom bracket.  I would suspect that the paint would run about $450 to duplicate.  Decals are not clear coated.  Click on the link to the left for multiple pictures.
