I just about fell out of my chair when I spotted a Ritchey Timberwolf during my breakfast scan of our small-town CL one morning this summer.

Kinda beat, it'll never be concours quality, but b'gosh it's a gen-u-ine fillet-brazed Ritchey!

Hodge-podge of parts. Super nice folks that I bought it from. It had definitely been 'rode hard and put away wet'. Funny- the part the gal was most excited about was the 90s purple anodized seat QR. LOL, she was adamant that it was an original Campy part... :) She did have the story straight about early QRs from NorCal guys she'd met in Crested Butte BITD, and I get things confused and conflated these days myself... The D-A hubs were really nice under the gunk. Surprised I had the D-A cassette tool, wonder why I've had that all these years? Relaced the beat-up, mismatched rims with polished Rhyno Lites- figured they were the closest thing to RM-20s. Crank/BB/headset all good, once refurbished. 8s era barcons and XT r der. New chain, flipped the 6s cogset.

It really does ride nice, although I don't ride much anymore- even with the sky-high bars my screwed-up neck can barely tolerate a moderate ride. Oh well. Someday the next owner can take it to the next level, as it is it works really well.
