Description
Ritchie's history began when founder Tom Ritchie created a lightweight bicycle without sacrificing strength in his home garage when he was in high school.
Since then, he has devoted his energies to other endeavors besides frame building, such as creating bicycle components and leading the early days of MTB. However, the Ritchie spirit of making functional, lightweight, and reliable products has been passed on to the frames, and Ritchie has been active in supplying top UCI pros, including Cadel Evans, who won the World Championships in 2009 using Ritchie components.
The headset is designed with a smaller upper bearing to reduce weight and a larger lower bearing to reduce load. The bearing cups are deep and can be installed deep into the head.
