…here is an interesting fact regarding ritchey’s breakaway design…first, i’ll say that i think the concept is a beautifully elegant solution…

…the fitted & shaped lugs tightening to the seatpost is an simple, attractive, yet strong join…the proprietary downtube connection ring is what i want to address…while ‘tr’ specifically designed this piece for the ‘breakaway’, the idea came directly from a coffee maker…not a little old barista somewhere but the ring idea was from a high pressure hose connector coming off a an italian (saeco maybe) espresso machine…

…jimmy sullivan won both national & worlds veteran mtb championships racing for ritchey, “back in the day” & sully is THE espresso machine man these days…tom saw one sully’s ‘coffee rings’ & ergo, the downtube connector was born…

It’s not the cheapest bike in the world bit the frame design and custom bag are fantastic. The bike, bag, underseat bag (levers, couple of tubes, topeak micro pump and a mini multi-tool), shoes, a couple of jerseys, socks and bibs weigh in a just over 14kg. AND the bag doesn’t get a second look at check-in.

Great presentation/graphics. As much as the rendering looks good, some assembly details look questionable. Ofcourse, now I must remember its an art project, not an engineering one :) Good work though…
