Teaser : Ritchey Road Logic

bendertherobot

Obviously much to do yet!

marcusjb

Such a good looking frameset.

Garry H

Looks great already. Where did you get it?

bendertherobot

Westbrooks. I'm really pleased with how the F3's match it.

I have a Ritchey Streem WCS Link saddle coming tomorrow. Then I can judge my position. I want that stem slammed!

marcusjb

My copy of Cyclist came today - it has a review of the frameset. Not read it yet, not sure I dare.

bendertherobot

Ooo! I'd love to know. Cycling Weekly were impressed, as are all who ride it. Will be interesting to see what they make of it.

the_fuggler

It's very positive. Worth a read.

bendertherobot

Ta. Shall head out to WHSmith at lunchtime.

Maybe leave it until tomorrow btr, I think the subscription copies come out sooner that the newsagents will have them - they are always out on wednesdays, and in the last issue they gave the publication date as the 17th Sept.

Fantastic looking bike by the way, I seriously considered one before booking my Rourkes appointment (swayed by the custom element).

bendertherobot

Will do! Yeah, I just couldn't quite stretch to custom this time round but I think I'll be happy!

That looks lovely, can't wait to see the finished bike. I've always liked Richies since I saw a P27 (I think) in the flesh at mend a bike in Fulham. Will be interested to hear how the ride compares with your Condor.

drlodge

Yep its a nice looking frame! Are they Logic II bars? I didn't get on with the straight section in the drops (wrong angle), changed them for the NeoClassic model.

bendertherobot

Yeah, logic 2. Fancied something other than the evo curve. Short reach on them. Lots of reviews rave so we will see!

bluemoon17

Fantastic looking frameset.

cubedean

Lovely.

There is something about the road logic frames that is just so lustworthy.

Can't wait to see it finished.

bendertherobot

Shouldn't be long. But may need to wait till weekend.

Still waiting on:

Ritchey WCS Streem Evolink Saddle. Looks pretty neat. We'll see if I finally find a comfy saddle.

Jagwire Pro have arrived.

I was half tempted to stick some Ritchey Race Slick tyres on and may well still opt for the Ritchey Echelon pedals to finish it off.

And, maybe next year, some Ritchey wheels.

I think that, although I can't really get the position sorted till the saddle arrives, it would be surprising if I couldn't just leave the stem slammed given the headtube length.

Just building the same using ultegra 11 and zipp finishing kit

Very nice indeed. Really like the colour.

bmxboy10

Can we have some close ups of the frame please? Never seen one in the flesh but this is still "on the list"

bendertherobot

Will do! But tomorrow now. It's one if those things that really pops in the flesh

styxd

Nice frame, I think they look best in the size. Could definitely do with a longer stem and a nice seatpost though.

bendertherobot

Fork isn't seated yet because I've not knocked the crown race on. Will get LBS to do that at same time as fork cut.

bendertherobot

And, yes, I'll be cleaning the cassette!

jordan_217

I really like that colour. Looks a lovely bike.

bendertherobot

Last teaser. Drop and reach seem fine so fork cut slammed tomorrow.

narbs

Your desk is so uncluttered I find it difficult to believe you do any work.

Bike looks ok

bendertherobot

Close up mun, and new keyboard. You should see my pile of marking, which I can't be bothered to do

Coach H

That looks great!

Are those 25mm Pro4's? If they are do you think you would have enough clearance to fit full guards (fixing with P-Clips)?

I am coming close to needing to replace my winter frame and what a winter bike this would make!

bendertherobot

Yes. They are. I'll take some pics later, if the LBS gets round to cutting the fork today. There's certainly a lot of seatube clearance.

From recollection the frame will take 28c tyres so, I'd imagine, that you might even run some proper guards (with p clips as you say) with 25's or, at least, 23c.

Thanks. Unlikely to get it past the EPO, but would be great if I could. Would be a bit more special than the Cannondale Synape Alloy frame I was considering using! Have been interested before but your build has really caught my attention.
