1985 Fisher Competition

Shortly after Tom Ritchey stopped making frames for Fisher Mountain Bikes, Gary went looking for other builders. One of the early builders was Tom Teesdale, who built this particular frame.  From the serial number, we know that this was the 53rd 19" Competition frame built by Tom.  This one is painted in the team red/yellow/black fade and built up with typical parts of the era.
