Ritchey bicycle owners and appreciation

I forget I have this bike as it generally lives in the box.

seeing as summers on the way, apparently and we’ve got some trips planned I through I’d better check on it, everything looked ok, chain needs rewaxing. The only foreign trip we have planned is Florida, going to take the bike, even if I just end up riding round the gated community we’re staying in.

Nice - got any photos of it assembled?

Gosh, I so want one!

Does anyone have any info of Dahon branded ones? Allegro is the model name I think?

I really need to rake more pictures of my bikes

Sadly it's too big for me, but there's a Breakaway on Ebay at the moment.

All those different colours work really well together. A very nice looking bike!

clearance for 40c tires without a fender — or 36 with a fender

so an overpriced CDF?

The angles are rather similar indeed. Different BB-drop number though.
But when you have to choose between those two I would say: 'that is easy ..'

€1,713.20 is too insane imo

I've really been wanting a breakaway but the prices are too crazy, especially in Australia

I took my Ritchey up to Herefordshire for a family holiday. I was planning on taking a “normal” bike but had forgotten how much room they take up. The breakaway unbox in the boot fitted in a tiny space.

I didn’t get to ride as much as I was hoping, but did get the chance to do gospel pass which was great.

For the smaller folk who might want a breakaway, I’ve got mine for sale here:

I’d prefer to keep it really…

Just ordered one!

Ohh exciting! What are the build plans?

Do they offer an alternative colour matched thinner steel fork when you order?

Frame looks really really nice, but this looks a bit wrong to me. Maybe it's just a bad photo.

Nothing too exotic, very similar to the promo pictures. Probably Giles Berthoud mudguards
and Middleburn cranks for a bit of silver.

No, I don't think they even do steel forks for the Road Logic.

You have to get the Bishop that was the inspiration for the Montebello.

Looks better here but a fatter head tube or external headset might have been better looking

Has this not been mentioned yet? Can't wait to see what these will be trading hands for in a few years.
