The Birthday bike

This 1981 bike s is a nearly all original version of Tom Ritchey and Charlie Kelly´s project: Ritchey Mountain Bikes. To me this bike is so special, because it´s from my birth year and very likely even from my birth month, June 1981.

I was looking for one like this for years and I´m still very grateful to a special Ritchey collector mate, David, who sold it to me when I told him from this plan.
