Less is More / Simplicity Unleashes the Drive
Tom Ritchie's vision of the modern single speed.
Tom Ritchie has been a pioneer and innovator in mountain biking since the early days of the sport, and now he has created his own brand, RITCHEY.
Named after his beloved San Jose track team, the "Garden City" frameset is more than just a track bike, it is a frameset that is full of Ritchie's playful spirit.
Logic" expands the concept of single speed
After the piste boom of the past, we are now looking for more than just "stoicism" in a single speed, and the Garden City features Ritchie's unique triple-butted steel "Logic Tubing".
The Garden City features Ritchie's proprietary triple-butted steel "Logic Tubing," which strikes a perfect balance between the suppleness of steel and the responsiveness of steel when stepped on.
With a maximum tire clearance of 28c, this frame not only rides over smooth pavement, but also lightly handles bumps in the city and even rough surfaces in back alleys.
Free" details for everyday life
The most distinctive feature of this frame is that it has a brake pedestal and bottle cage mounts, even though it is a track bike. You can ride it in fixed gear on the street, or set it in free gear, plug in your favorite bottle, and carry a daypack to a coffee shop a little further away. Such a "free single-speed life" is possible.
The included carbon fork plays a supporting role by making handling nimble and minimizing rider fatigue even on long rides.
Recommended Build
The beautiful Midnight Violet paint job can be built classically with silver parts, or all black for a modern look. Combine with SimWorks handlebars and stem, and a durable Chris King headset (*WCS headset included with this product), and tailor your own "city bike for a lifetime.
