Rare 1994 Ritchey P-23, large, restored, ready to ride

Description: From what I could gather this is a '94 P-23 since it's fully TIG-ed (only the upper seat-tube junction is fillet brazed) and based on the serial number a former Ritchey worker identified it as a '94 model year. Frame size is 20" dimensions: Seat-tube: 19" center-to center (20" center to top), Top tube: 22 1/2" center to center, Head tube: 4 1/4" Down tube: 25" center to center. I am quite tall so this frame doesn't fit me very well (hence the 150mm stem) and having too many bikes already it's time to let this one go.I bought it off Ebay as a frame plus fork fuselage. The puzzling thing for me was the paint-job as it was the later team bike color scheme and not the '94 team fade which was different. If it was a re-spray it must have been done at the factory as everything was under clear-coat and quite well done. Unfortunately the paint was peeling off and there was some rust at the top tube close to the seat-tube. I decided to put in some work and restore it. The frame and fork were profesionally re-sprayed by a friend of mine who paints cars for a living using automotive grade paints. The components theme is a subtle red-white and blue on the anodized bolts to go with the team colors. I used as many Ritchey components as I could get.Here's the component breakdown:Frame + Fork: RitcheyHeadset: Chris King No LogoStem: Ritchey Force (custom painted to match the frame) with a custom aluminum wedge boltSeat-Post: RitcheySeat: Ritchey Vector Pro TiHandlebars: Ritchey Force-LiteBrake levers: Ritchey logicShifters: XT rapid fire in Gorilla Billet perches (very rare)Grips: RitcheyBrakes: Ritchey Logic cantilevers with Tune titanium and aluminum hardware and Avid tri-danglesCables: Shimano XTRChain-set: Ritchey Logic with Ritchey and Salsa chain-ringsBottom bracket: Sampson Stratics TitaniumFront Derailleur: XTR M900Rear Derailleur: XTR M900 with Avid RollamajicCassette: Shimano M900Chain: Shimano HG 70Wheels: XTR M900 hubs on Araya M400 rimsTires: Ritchey SpeedmaxSkewers: Shimano M900Pedals: noneBolts: alloy and titaniumWeight of the build: 21.2 lbs
