But they still make steel tubing now, how does it rate?
It used to be tange prestige double butted indeed , they were a match for the fuji stout light tubing often used by the french MTB brand Sunn or a match for the Columbus cyber. Also Ritchey made Nitanium frames a mix of tange steel,niobium and titanium which was a rival of the columbus genius and the 853 frames. I don't know what kind of steel Ritchey uses to be very honest. I have never ridden a Ritchey frame but what I do know is that vintage Ritchey MTBs are expensive.
