The Ritchey is a beaut. One rarely sees an early lugged version like that, restored to such a fine state. Congratulations and enjoy. I keep a rivish '85 timbercomp 2 speed fillet that is my Po' Boy's Bomba. Love that bike- to think I almost sold it a few months ago! Egad!
Your Homer (subsequent photos) is set up very similar. I am curious as to how they ride comparatively. The fall colors are beautiful. Where you at? What stream- looks trouty!?

Well in keeping with the Riv inspired requirement, this bike has 46cm Noodles, Brooks Select Saddle, Suntour (silver) DT micro Ratchet shifters and a six speed freewheel. I ended up with it due to a forgotten ebay search. It popped up and I bought it because it is the perfect match to the Ritchey tandem I picked up earlier this year. When it arrived, I discovered that the seat tube (where the post is inserted) had a crack. It went to Bilenky Cycle works, they fixed it and a did a masterful job matching the original paint. This bike has crossed the US twice and did 20+ years of commuting duty. With a repair, it is good for another 20+years, easy. Try that with CF!
