1995 Ritchey Catalog
Light Beam, Crazy Pete, Everest, and the Comp Shocker are not the first model names that come to mind when I think of Ritchey bicycles. In 1995 Ritchey offered 10 framesets including the legendary "P" series frames (P20, P21, P23) and the popular Road Logic and Road Classic. While Ritchey continued to produce frames in future years, 1995 was the last year for several models and marked a transition in the company towords component development.

It wasn't just Ritchey that was evolving, in 1995 the entire mountain bike industry was adapting to new market demands. With the Olympics on the horizon companies where ramping up development of light weight parts and frames. While steel frames (bikes) remained a popular choice among seasoned riders, new riders and racers, looking for the lightest parts and frames, sought out aluminum and other exotic materials. Front suspension was becoming the norm and full suspension designs where appearing in most major manufacturers lines. Through all of this Ritchey remained devoted to steel and in 1995 produced one of their most complete lines of frames.
