1981 Ritchey Everest

Early Ritchey Everest, the most expensive of Tom's bikes. The amazing fillets, subtly scalloped seat collar, flush fork crown and brazed bullmoose provide lots to admire on this. This one's got little "MountainBikes" decals on it from the G. Fisher/Charlie Kelley days. A little too big for me, but still fun to ride. These were sized like road bikes.
