Im an old BMX guy, 63, I only ride a SS rigid 26", 32/18

I like these a lot I wonder if they could be sprayed with Line X

I have the same bike i just cut all the cables and stripped it down im painting it teal yellow pink white splatter with fuji wheels fixie

I have a large Ultr set up with a Fox 34. TRP berakes. SLX shifter and XT rear der. ST swiss XM1700 and a ritchey seat post. Comes in a 24 lbs Panasonic 2.0" rear tire, 2.2 front. It is the perfect bike. If I could have only one bike to cover it all with naught but a tire change or a wheel change, This is the bike. Tom Ritchey designs bikes he would want to ride. It seems like he prefers a versatile bike that can cover a lot of different terrains. I have 3 Ritchey bikes and I built them all ground up. They are fabulous bikes. Road LOgic, Outback and Ultra.

Love em This the look i want for my Jeep jk those stock flares are 🤢 i can’t stand em

Very classy and classic bike. I like it. I just acquired one today myself

try some CREATIVE WHEELS

You can't go wrong with that bike

How do the look now and did all four come in or you have to buy front and rear separately

Someone at work threw one of these out. The gears don’t switch too good Lil spring project

Do you know what brand the fork is? I'm striping down my 2009 GF Piranha and want to put a rigid fork on it. Can't find much advice on this.

Thanksfor the review. I was looking at these for my 01 TJ. I'm still not sure about the finish but they look nice.

How tall are you?

Can I ask what your seat height is set to (measured from the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat straight up the seat post and tube)? Thanks!

Nice build dad

Nice to see a vintage mountain bike being saved. I am a lot like you I look past the rust an dirt and see what the bike came be.

Dream bike

beautiful bike!

What’s the brand of rigid fork? What tires?

I have 2,a 92 and a 96. even the 96 had threaded headset but it was 1 1/8th not 1 inch like the older one. tough frames.

Looks great! Love that you saved the paint/graphics. It'd be hard to beat the look of those classic graphics.

I picked up a similar Hardrock in even better visual condition. I am doing a restore with replace wear bits, chain, cables, pads and upgrade saddle. Paint stem and bars. (2023) Later in year, over winter, cargo fork w20” front and 8 speed Alfine drive hub. The frame is in such prime condition is a great platform for a cargo bike.

Mine are on the way. I'm getting them painted because I saw they can fade a bit.

Just picked up one of these for $60 just started getting into bikes

Nice build! I did something similar to an old Gary Fisher Wahoo (2004, I think). 1x8 drivetrain, rigid steel fork, new brake levers and shifter, wider bars and saddle. I use it as a flat bar gravel bike. It had been sitting in my buddy's shed for 15 years and he finally broke down and gave it to me after years of "hey, what are you doing with that bike?" I love the 26s. I've thought about throwing a nicer SRAM drivetrain on it and some dirt drops. These older bikes are really versatile. Great platforms for whatever.

That isn't a factory side step...what brand rails are those?

Jeep looks great. what's the actual width in inches of both front and rear fenders? thanks

Hi, thinking of doing my TJ flares, front and rear bumpers. Would you still recommend herculiner? Thanks for the video!

Thanks. With your 40c Tyre on back.... would you say there is like a 1cm gap to chainstay? Just comparing to my bike now.... cheers

Looks good! Are you still running stock rubicon wheels? Any wheel spacers? ✌🏻😎

What weight does the medium come in at?

I have a very similar bike, with 120mm Pikes, XX1 ASX RD, 150mm BikeYoke dropper, CC eeWings 170mm crankset, Thomson Ti bars, XT 4-pots w/180mm rotors, Chris King teal headset, to finish off the bling. First bike I've had with expensive carbon hoops, Enve AM30's with Specialized Fast Trak tyres and Cushcore XC inserts, which I can't recommend highly enough. I'm a big guy, 6', 115kg, tend to monster truck over the rough, plough through rock gardens, wanted strong wheels. The combination of quality steel frame, carbon rims, only 28 spokes, plus the Cushcore, delivers a superlative ride quality, absolutely amazing. I get all the benefits of a hardtail, that immediate, 100% power delivery, with a very supple ride, almost as if I had an inch of rear travel, without the bike being a wet noodle. I fell in love with mountain bike on a '97 M2 Stumpy, and after >20 years of riding big duallies, often heavy beast of things with too travel, just too much bike, coming back to a quality steel hardtail feels like returning home. I have a Lynskey GR260 gravel bike, but much like yourself, find myself taking the Ritchey out on gravel rides these days, as it's just as comfortable and much more capable, without a significant weight or efficiency penalty.

Hey Dale, How is the liner on those flares holding up?

Curiuos what your stem and h-bar setup is on this? Considering shortening the cockpit on my inflite w the H31 Ergo that came stock. Assuming you changed yours as well?

Hey buddy, do you know if your bike reach on a medium is 433? same as the 2022 model?

Steel, especially Ritchey is the way to go for a hardtail

What do you think about this frame vs specialized chisel ?

If you are 182cm tall and size M, isn't it small?

sid sl ultimate in blue matches perfect, I think. would love to see that on the newer ultra. I am back and forth between that same ultra or 5 year old 650b.

Putting a drop bar on a mtb doesn't make it a gravel bike, it just a hybrid bike. Gravel bike has a different symmetry.

Thanks for the owner review. Can't much on the Ultra. Did you say you fit a 29 x 3.5 on the back?

That's a sweet hard tail bike very nice 👌

I guess you have to cut off the factory mounting brackets to use these? Look great and have been considering them

I have this same bike in stock form. Wanting to convert it to a gravel bike aswell

Hi Dale I was thinking about purchasing the neuron 6 as my first full suspension bike. I am just a bit hesitant as the head tube angle is quite steep, I was wondering how you find it, is it capable enough to give confidence in very steep trails, as I don’t want an XC feeling bike.

I have 2021 Canyon Neuron AL 6. It’s an excellent bike and I believe Canyon is conservative when it comes to their “category rating” system. I’ve ran the bike way harder than it’s recommended with no issues or stress. I’ve had to change the Horstlink bolt out once, but if you keep an eye on it and tighten it before/after each ride it should be fine. All in all it’s a great bike and I keep up with my enduro bike riding colleagues on the trails no problem. I am curious whether it would be worth upgrading from my Rockshox Judy Silver to a Fox 34. I don’t necessarily need the added travel but I wonder if it would have less flex, more stiffness on turns and going downhill since it’s a larger and beefier fork.

How have these handled wear and tear? Any significant fading? Are you still happy with the purchase?

It looks nice

I got hold of a gary fisher big sur and put a bafang mid-drive motor on it and the bike is great I'm so happy i didn't choose a newer bike for this build because I love vintage bikes and thank you for inspiring me

Looks good
