At http://www.xo-1.org/2011/01/tom-ritchey-in-his-own-words.html Tom Ritchey tells about the early history of his bikes and mentions this Wikipedia article, noting a few differences between this article and his memory. People interested in this article should check the paragraph in which he mentions the Stumpjumper and maybe take his version of the events into account, especially since Tom Ritchey is quite an authoritative voice about frame building. --Jean-Marc Liotier (talk) 09:25, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip. I've posted a comment on that page, asking for help improving the article. The problem is that what we currently have is well sourced, so it's hard to know who's right. Cordless Larry (talk) 23:46, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
