Remember this one, my neighbor had it out with the trash.
After a few NOS parts it's ready for the trails.

B-utiful. What all did you have to change?

B-utiful. What all did you have to change?

- Avocet Touring I saddles
- CyclePro Pinnacle tires
- Ritchey stem w/cable hanger
- Ritchey Bars
-NOS decal set [ except tubing and shop decals] they were fine
- It had the original wheels RM 20 / XT but I added Mavic Oxygen / NOS 80's Phil Wood hubs and Campy skewers

I had everything but seats and stem.

When I first got it I cut the cable lock and pumped up the tires, and it rode fine.
I do like it a little better this way though.

Your neighbor is F'ing retarded. I would make a point of checking his trash every week. That silver is lovely.

That's really nice, Shawn. You do Ritchey right!

Great looking bike. So glad it didn't make it to the dump, even though I wish it had been my neighbor who threw it out!

The wheels especially are a worthy upgrade. It's a beautiful bike sir.

Can you ride a wheelie on that thing?

 

[datasurfer]

I like the before better...just messing with ya!

Shawn you did a magnificent job. From the pics, I cannot distinguish it from new. I never imagined it was in such good shape from your verbal description:thumbsup:

Awesome bike Shawn! love those welds

 

[nightshade_rider]

I would be stoked to be the stoker!

Great job, Shawn.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I am very lucky to have stumbled upon this bike. Can't wait for the next vintage ride, you are all welcome to take it for a spin.

Eric, if you even think of being the Captain you need to lose the Spandex

You are right Miguel, the welds are beautiful. TR is amazing with a torch.

Wow Shawn, that bike is stunning. Glad it ended up in the right hands.

 

[Bigfoot]

Is that the original kickstand?

 

[YETIFIED]

Nice work Shawn, so how are you feeling these days? Are you ready to re-set up that ride we never did?

 

[wv_bob]

Is that the original kickstand?

All bikes should come with a multi-purpose tool like that. Kickstand or on-trail repair, a claw hammer can do it all

 

[cegrover]

That is just plain badass! What is the serial number?

Also, what else does your neighbor have???

T207, what does that tell you?

I'm just into Ritchey's, but he has this big tubed silver bike. All the decals are missing except ham

I love how the head tube junction on fillet brazed tandems looks like some kind of sea creature. Awesome bike!
