Welcome to VINTAGE MOUNTAIN BIKE JOURNEYS

Discover one of the many Ritchey Project Team bikes - From Ritchey P-23 Team to a unique P-21 Team WCS, a more modern P-20 Team and many others linked in that area.

Explore the uniqueness of this found and true steel craftsmanship of Brent Steelman. This is a true ElGato area, from Don Myrah to Competition Pro Bikes from the Interbike shows back in the early 90s.

WTB´s Phoenix - "The spectactular unspectacular". This is the hub of the bike which is the origin of todays gravel bikes. The Phoenix is the steel fire bird of the 90s, the probably best riding steel-is-real MTB ever made. Here you can find the different models and many more information from the Brand driving Mountain Bike Innovation in the 1990s.

Steve Potts is the (my) master of frame builder and a friend over years. He has not only build the WTB Phoenix, but also the most beautiful MTB frames the market has ever seen seen since the early 1980s. This section lists the Steelfightback projects, bike journeys starting from 1982 - 2022, when I collected my last Mona Lisa from him, a personalised Titanium Phoenix.

Wes Williams, the man behind IBIS and Willits. Learn more about his personal bike  - a very interesting journey - as well as his second brand - Willits, a clear reference of his pioneering skills
