About this product
This vintage 1980s Tom Ritchey Timber Wolf Mountain Bike features an 18-inch steel frame, 26-inch wheels, and a beige finish. It's equipped with Shimano Deore components, a 9-speed derailleur gear system, and classic Bull Moose handlebars. The bike uses cantilever brakes and clincher tires, with a rigid, no-suspension design. As a vintage model, it represents an early era of mountain biking, built for reliability and ruggedness.
Our take
Riding this 84/85 Tom Ritchey Timber Wolf is like stepping back in time to the early days of mountain biking. The 18-inch steel frame provides that characteristic durable and compliant ride, and the 26-inch wheels are true to its vintage. The Shimano Deore 9-speed setup, with thumb shifters and cantilever brakes, offers a glimpse into a simpler, yet effective, mechanical era. While the 'No Suspension' design means you'll feel every bump, that's part of the authentic vintage experience. It's a genuine piece of cycling history at $1,100.00, perfect for a collector or someone who appreciates the origins of MTB.
