I love this. I've been watching that damn Matthes ad for so long, I feel like I actually know who she is. Maybe next year he'll have it down to $1400... and, um-boy will I ever be tempted. I mean, Ruthie sat right there on that seat...at least when she wasn't racing.

For at least the last year there has been a bike for sale on the Detroit/An Arbor CL, Ruthie Matthes' spare bike.

Well, today this was posted:

Ruthie Matthes:
2000 Olympian-MTB
1991 Mountain Bike World Champion
1989 Road World Championship Silver Medalist
5 Time MTB World Championship Medalist
2 Time US National Road Champion
2 Time US National MTB Champion

Pearl Izumi shorts - Slightly soiled.

This was the spare shorts so they have less then 5 hours riding on them.
Ruthie had it made as her spare shorts for the 2001 Mountain Bike World
Championships. She ended up racing on her performance bike shorts.
Looks like the left leg has a little more time on it as part of the Pearl Izumi
logo is worn off. Other then the soiled insides the shorts look NEW!

A true collectors item!
