1492.0. "Ritchey Classic for $1000." by PACKER::DJENNAS () Mon Apr 09 1990 14:01

    I would like to ask the experts on what they think about TANGE PRESTIGE
    frames, are they comparable to Columbus SL's.. Also according to the 
    Bicycle Guide a Ritchey Classic (Tange Prestige) With Shimano Dura-Ace
    components for $1000. Is that a typo. a great steal or just about the 
    right price. 
    
    Thanks,
    Franc, Finally taking biking seriously.

	A Ritchey made with Tange Prestige decked out with Dura-Ace for $1K. Definitely a typo! They sell the Ritchey road frame alone for about $1100, it is a one nice piece of work. A Dura-Ace group must go for around $600-$700 (just a guess). That still leaves you without such things as the rest of the wheels, bars, seat, etc. $2K sounds more like it.
