I owned a Ritchey Palo Alto lugged frame from about 1982. It was very nice looking with shoot in stays, ovalized seat tube at the BB shell, finely filed lugs, haden fork crown, etc. 61 cm, fast touring bike with fender and rack eyelets. I rode it for years and then sold it in 1992 or so.

When visiting Brian Baylis' shop in 2003 I saw it sitting there awaiting a repaint. It was a 3 color red / white / purple fade, very pretty. I'll bet someone on the list owns it. A keeper!
