Ritchey made exquisite framesets. As a mechanic at TWTA in HB I had the opportunity assemble dozens of them in the mid 80's. One fellow 'wrench' moved to Redwood City to join his team. Fischer may have pioneered them alongside Tom, but Tom was the artisan. Attention to detail The mid 80's Redwood City stuff was the finest.
