Reader Ride: Inside a Pristine Restoration of a 1981 Ritchey Everest
Beautiful restoration, but the Deerhead group is a little anachronistic, as it came out in '83. I get it, as it was the first group that did not completely suck. I Bought one off the first full deerhead equipped bikes back then and it was amazing.
