1987 Ritchey Super Comp
The Super Comp was a competition oriented bike and exhibited some of Tom Ritchey's best brazing work, surpassed only by the Annapurna model with the bi-laminate lugs. The frames are easy to identify from other fillet-brazed Ritchey bikes by the peaked seatpost collar. The low-rise bullmoose bar on this example uses tapered tubing for the extensions rather than round tubing. This particular bike has a two-tone faded paint job, which was something that really distinguished a mountain bike from a traditional lugged road bike with pinstriping and panels.
