1983 Ritchey "Faux Lug" Competition

This Competition model Ritchey, later known by the name Annapurna, was built for Tom Ritchey's neighbor in exchange for painting Tom's house. At each tube intersection is a faux lug reinforcement that is then fillet brazed to give it a beautiful melted or fluid look. This bike is unique in that it is nearly completely original. All the parts and paint have been carefully polished to bring back their original shine.
