Oh I'm familiar with those babies. I got to use one when I was in the QA department at the warehouse where I work. It's a fantastic machine, might have to "borrow" it again next time I'm in
 
A couple of nice Ritcheys, illustrating the difference between the two lines of frames he made.
In short, the “A” bikes featured better tubing and better finishing and were overall the best bang for your buck to leave the Ritchey workshop. The only bike that was higher-end than the Everest was the Competition. The “B” bikes were still marvels of the time and were priced much lower. In modern pricing terms, a complete Everest, or “A” bike in 1983 was $1,656. Adjusted for inflation, that comes out to roughly $4,865. Which is still a bargain by today’s standards. A Mount Tam, “B” bike complete was $925, or $2,717 in today’s pricing.

@BartRidesEternal this one made me think of you and your beautiful custom frame. I'm surprised how much I want it

Also, because of the hilariousness, I shall share someone else's story of biking in the Netherlands:

I spent a few weeks working in Rotterdam and Den Hague a while back. I was on a night out with a friend and colleague who was cycling home afterwards whilst I walked back to my digs around the corner. we came out of the bar tea shop to find someone had removed his saddle. I was somewhat annoyed and assumed he was pushing his bike home, he on the other hand, laughed at me, whipped out the spanner from his pocket and took the saddle of someone else's bike. his explanation, "ah, this is common, don't worry about it, they'll do the same and eventually someone will take one of a bike that doesn't get used and the world order will be restored".

Thanks Matti!

I can share the (incomplete) geometry drawing if you want to, so you can build it yourselve ;)

This frame has the tubes alongside the top tube.

This brand has both frame designs (and more!):

Maybe the Azor IFL is something for you ;)
