About this product
This is a vintage Tom Ritchey FilletBrazed Super Comp mountain bike from the late 1980s, specifically 1987-1989. It features a 21-inch steel frame constructed with Tange Prestige tubing and Araya rims on Suntour hubs. Equipped with a Shimano XT derailleur and Deore XT components, this red mountain bike utilizes 26-inch wheels and cantilever brakes. As a classic 'Old School Mountain Bike', it represents a piece of cycling history, originally manufactured in the United States.
Our take
If you're into vintage mountain biking, this Tom Ritchey Super Comp is a real classic, offering a slice of 80s MTB history. The fillet-brazed Tange steel frame is a testament to quality craftsmanship from its US origin. It's got the period-correct Shimano XT components, Araya rims, and Suntour hubs, which is fantastic for a restoration or collector. The 26-inch wheels and cantilever brakes are definitely 'old school,' so don't expect modern performance, but for its era, it's a solid setup. The 21-inch frame size makes it suitable for taller riders looking to experience what mountain biking was like decades ago.
