Ritchey bicycle owners and appreciation

So this arrived this morning <3

Took it out for a little spin around the block and it is a wonder. Really impressed by how light it is, it's lighter than my carbon disc braked road bike which is a nice surprise.

Only a few changes for now - black gp4000s & some black bar tape. As it'll be traveling I'm going to keep this a cheap build for the time being.

Nice slippers!

Thanks :) Calf skin outer, sheep skin inner. Changed my life.

super jealous of this!

White bar tape, black tyres imo.

Plain cushions, stain the pine imo

Great bike!

Road Logic 53cm currently cheaps on ebay..

This thing is so much fun to ride! Much much more exciting than my carbon disc braked etc etc giant defy, and it actually weighs less too

Also - I put on 23mm tyres onto skinny rimmed open pros (SHOCK HORROR) with much trepidation, fearing that it would feel like I was just riding on the rims, loads of rolling resistance, fatigue after the first 5 minutes... turns out that they ride just fine like they always have...

Watching that logic ..hmm tempting

53cm - Bit small no?

We've never met have we Matty.

Bargain! Good buy, what size is that? I really rate that age 10 speed shimano stuff, dont change if you dont need to.

Ha! True, but I'd noticed that we were often after the same frames in the classifieds... If it were a 56 I'd also be tempted!

Dangerously close to pulling the trigger on a Swiss Cross canti...

dont do it for anything other than cross IMO .. mini-v are great BUT they require attention

Thoughts are to use it as a cross, commute, touring (saddle bags, bar bag, etc) type thing.

Setup would be Rival 1 groupset, Avid Shorty Ultimates, other misc. components, then use my Zipp 60s clinchers and/or CK R45 x 38mm by 25mm tubulars.

I have a bunch of components following my crash that just haven't got a place...

Somebody got a nice frame for a good price, went for 410. Anybody on here snaffle it?

Water collects in my Road Logic frame. Where is it getting in?

Bb and rear end breathing holes . Over winter take the seatpin out and get air in their to dry it out

Too big for me.

saw that... still got a reserve on though....

Yeah. Reading the info he's quoting the postage as having insurance between 500-1000, so guess his reserve will be maybe at the upper end of that scale.

Went for 675, thought it would go higher than that. Bargain for someone.

Had my first trip away with the breakaway last week and it was sublime - 5 days riding in the alps north of Nice.

It rides beautifully, climbs like a dream and descends great.
