 In 1978, a couple of guys in a Vancouver bike store modified a few Nishiki road bikes with wide tires, straight bars and thumbshifters with gears. This was the first experience with "mountain bikes" for the soon-to-be Rocky Mountain founders. They needed a more durable frame with aggressive geometry to withstand the harsh trails of the West Coast. So, they called [[ritchey:start|Tom Ritchey]] and began to import his version of the mountain bike.  The founders accompanied Tom Ritchey to Japan to explore the world of durable components and frame tubing that could be fashioned into mountain bikes. And, in 1982, they created their first production model, and Canada's first homegrown fat-tire bike, the Sherpa.

 ===== Rocky Mountain Ritcheys =====
-Rocky Mountain resold Ritcheys starting in 1983.  They eventually arrived in three varieties: Japanese TIG welded, lugged and fillet brazed.  The 1984 Rocky Moutain Ritchey was TIG welded by Toyo in Japan and is identical to the 1984 Montare Mountain Bikes sold in the US by [[fisher:start|Fisher/Kelly]].
