" Tom Ritchey Classic 40th Anniversary Frame/Fork! RARE!
Own a piece of cycling history!
Tom Ritchey, legendary framebuilder, racer and mountain bike pioneer, started building his first frames in 1972, making 2012 his 40th year of custom framebuilding. To celebrate this landmark Tom Ritchey is offering a small batch of his finely crafted, fillet brazed steel frames to the public for the first time in many years.
Only 40 of these Limited Edition 40th Anniversary frame/forks will be made available. This is the first in the series, to be numbered #1/40 and hand signed by Tom Ritchey. It is new, never built, and first shown in public at the 2012 NAHBS in Sacramento.
This particular frame is a 60cm Road Classic featuring timeless all-day road geometry. Tubing is hand-selected by Tom for optimal weight, stiffness, ride quality and durability, and hand fillet brazed by Tom himself.
The paint and graphics commemorate the very first Ritchey frames Tom built, with carefully recreated versions of the original Jobst Brandt-designed “Ritchey -Palo Alto-“ head tube and downtube logos. A special 40th Anniversary 1972-2012 TR shield is on the seat tube. The D&D Cycles Continental Blue Imron paint was the color featured on many of the earliest frames Tom Ritchey built.
-Top Tube is 59.5cm (level) center-to-center. Seat tube is 60cm center-to-center.
-Rear spacing is 130mm
-Head tube/steer tube is 1-inch. Included fork is threadless and uncut. IF the buyer prefers, this fork could be cut and treaded. A 1-inch Ritchey headset will be included with the frame.
-THIS IS A CHARITY AUCTION! Proceeds will benefit Team Rwanda. Three more frames will be auctioned off later, with proceeds benefitting NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association) Trips 4 Kids, and Free Bikes 4 Kidz foundations, respectively.
-Tom wants the largest charitable donations/winning bids for the above foundations. Want a different frame size? If the winning bid exceeds $10,000 Tom Ritchey will build the winner a NEW FULL CUSTOM FRAME , road or mountain. This offer will only be available for the first four frames in the Anniversary Series.
Happy Bidding! "
