Hey All, My first MTB was a mid 80s lugged stumpy (the orange one). I rode it for over twenty years before a frame builder friend told me that the stress waves in the top and down tube were serious enough that I should retire the frame. So I did, and bought a Ritchey (which my wife uses as her uppity townie - if there can be such a thing - more on that later). At any rate, I have been looking for another ever since and finally grabbed one off of the local CL. It's a lil rough, but serviceable, and will be my new workhorse (shopper, pull a trailer) townie. It will replace a mid 90s steel Rockhopper I bought years ago, also off the local CL.
And about the Ritchey. When my wife and I became engaged I offered her in lieu of a ring any bike she wanted (we meet on a group ride). She responded, 'I'll take the Ritchey, and a ring'. So it really is hers because she did indeed marry me. She is a shrewd one that gal.
