what's good - ritchey edition

3/31/2026

Spring is coming, so is there anything good for sale out there?

How about a murdered-out Ritchey SwissCross? Do they kids still say 'murdered-out?' I guess if I'm asking, that's my answer. Anyway, this bike is hot - you better believe I've considered selling everything so I can grab this at $1800.

Or maybe a P-650b with Fox forks and tanwall tires for $1299? This is also hot. If I didn't already have a Chromag I'd be after this one.

And finally this barely used P-23 circa 1993. It still has the little sticker on the lower jockey wheel of the rear derailleur. It's very nice and the seller is asking $5000, so do with that what you like.

Spring is coming - anything good for sale out there?

How about a Cannondale Super V 700 for $100? It might have those super crazy XYZ barends on it, but it might also have a dead Headshok. Or maybe it just needs air? After 23 weeks for sale, nobody is willing to find out. Not even me.

$100 will also get you a K2 Proflex 3000 with Noleen forks. Did you know that K2, the 'Original American ski and snowboard company' used to make mountain bikes? And that they used to be called Proflex, and before that, Off Road? And the usual linkage forks were originally called Girvin, before they were Noleen? Hang on to this for when your local pub has a cycling category on trivia night.

Narrator; Your local pub will never have cycling as a category on trivia night.

Finally, it's $500 for this GT LTS-2. I always thought the seatstay design on this bike was funny, as the brake bosses have to be set at a very weird angle for the brakes to work. Also, this bike has a Marzocchi Bomber Z.1 with disc brake tabs on both fork legs. I thought these were really rare, but I've owned two of them in the last few years.

You are looking at a 1991 Anlen Sage, and I'd bet that you don't know what it is, even though it looks really familiar.

Spring is coming, so is there anything good for sale out there?

Well, there's a something, claimed to be French and 23 pounds with lots of Campagnolo parts for $100. The seller will also throw in a Campagnolo 50th Anniversary group - which is probably worth $5k, so I presume it's a joke.

Or how about a Fisher Rail? Did you even know Fisher made road bikes? In 2010, Gary Fisher bikes had a full lineup. In 2012, they didn't exist anymore. $350 for this. I like the look of this bike, though it looks bigger than the 56 it claims to be.

And here's a Schwinn Aluminum for $395. It's giving late 80's? It's pre-STI at least, so still has downtube shifters. You know how the Brits pronounce it weird? Alu-min-ium? Well, it's not just a matter of putting the emFASSus on the wrong syLAble (as an old teacher of mine used to say), they actually spell it differently - aluminium vs. aluminum.

You are looking at a 1994 Rocky Mountain Blizzard, and it is one of the strangest bikes ever sold by a mainstream bike company.
