Description: This is a brand new, custom painted, size XL Ritchey Breakaway frameset with the option to buy extra matching parts. THE TRAVEL CASE IS INCLUDED with the frameset. The Frameset:I'm a huge fan of these Ritchey breakaway cross bikes/frames. I used to travel to San Francisco and would take a travel bike. I've owned the Ritchey Breakaway Road, Breakaway Carbon Road, Breakaway Carbon Outback and also a Breakaway Cross. Of these, the Cross is my favorite frameset for a variety of reasons. So, I decided to buy a BA Cross, have it stripped, then repainted in traditional Ritchey wet red/black colors. Rick Stefani at D&D cycles did the painting. He's the guy who does the custom painting for Ritchey, Rivendell and some others, here:How to paint a custom bicycle with Rick Stefani and Tom Ritchey (youtube.com) There's several reasons why I prefer the BA Cross frame for travel and all around use and I'll list them here: 1-No disc wheels. DIsc on the wheels make it very difficult to next the wheels in the case. Realistically, it's necessary and time consuming to remove the discs, otherwise you run the (likely) risk they'll get bent. No discs on the wheels mean you can 'nest' the wheels in the case more easily for a more snug and secure fit. 2-Compared to the road models, the cross permits larger tire sizes so it can be used on road or off. 3-With a canti brake hanger on the fork, it's easier to remove bars while leaving the brakes on the bike. No removal of brake is necessary. 4-Geometry isn't stict cross geometry, rather a versatile geometry that's sufficient for a number of uses. 5-Rack/fender braze-ons if that's needed.
