For sale: Ritchey Breakaway travel bike (55.5cm top tube)

I've just decided to part with my under-utilised (and rare in the UK) Ritchey Breakaway. If you're unfamiliar with these bikes, you can disassemble the frame and back the whole bike into a suitcase for travel, enabling you to avoid fees for sporting goods on flights. More info here.

A this stage I only have one photo, but will take more. Other details:

Virtual top tube 55.5cm c-t-c
Ultegra 9 speed
105 compact crank
Travel case included

Full spec to follow. Any questions, just ask!

Price? @booter

Looking to recoup my original investment of £750 (bought it second hand in the US). but there is room for some negotiation.

Happy to arrange viewing and riding in Dalston.

Is the zip-tie structural?

So awesome

Would take frame only if splitting...?

Frame... Splitting... Lol...

It'd have had a hard time not buying this frame last week but have just bought a ti road frame... I've got one of these on my bucket list so if I can sell a kidney in time I'll be in touch! I'll take 2nd dibs on frameset... any more info on geo/dims?

I had the CX version of this frame until SwissAir smashed it. It was pure brilliant. The separation method is genius and the cable splitters should just be on all bikes anyways.

until SwissAir smashed it

Did they compensate?

Yes, but it took a bit of faffing around. The case was destroyed, too, so they must've given it a real going-over.

Suspect it may be a bit small for me but I'd love to take a look at this. Will send you a PM.

Still available?
