I came to this late, sometimes the combination of work, riding and other activities and responsibilities make it hard to follow all the threads here. So glad I looked into this threat. That was a great film, thanks for posting the link. --mike -- You received this message because you are subs

Great documentary... I didn't realize Tom had built so many bikes at such a young age. When I'm out visiting my friend near Santa Rosa, and we do our ride in Annadel State Park, I plan to take his old Ritchey Ascent (fully rigid) again... It's still an awesome bike some 27 years later. And I t

The part about the "woodsie" bike jump out to me. Looks like grandfather to atlantis and with 650B wheels. Never have heard a thing about a woodsie before this film. Pretty cool. JPP On Monday, September 17, 2012 4:23:50 PM UTC-4, William wrote: > > I read the blog by Mike Varley of Black Mou

Makes you wonder what other interesting connections exist at RBW. Lot of Bay Area bike people in that age bracket. Maybe a link between the "woodsie" bike & some Rivs? Sounds like the same mission, i.e., versatility, off-road or on pavement. My Atlantis has never surprised me off-road. dougP

Leslie apparently one of those untold things at Rivendell. No one acknowledges it nor do that make a big deal about it. I thought it was a big deal when I found out about it. On Monday, September 17, 2012 8:34:58 PM UTC-7, Leslie wrote: > > How did I not realize that Jay is Tom's son before now

Tom Ritchey was such a key figure in the start of mountain biking and a remarkable athlete. I didn't realize ( until I looked it up) that he is the same age as me. To have been building frames so early and so well is a true gift. I still remember the '89 Worlds that Don Myrah won. I had just
