Here is the finished bike. Can't believe it's only 500g heavier than my carbon bike - not that it was a 6.8kg race machine.

Those are cool...didn't realise Ritchey did bottle cages.

I saw them on Ritchey's international website and later on bike24

Unless you find someone with a complete bike, you can only order the frame.

  • Ritchey carbon fork;
  • Ritchey headset;
  • Ritchey components, mostly WCS alloy:
    • stem - 90mm;
    • bars - Logic II Streem, 42cm;
    • seat post - 350mm;
    • saddle - ZeroMax;
    • bottle cages, carbon;
    • spacers - 1x 10mm and 1x 5mm (UD carbon);
  • Shimano 105, 11-speed, 53/39T, 11-28;
  • Shimano 105 SPD-SL pedals (2008 model, if I remember correctly);
  • Shimano, braze-on adaptor (FD);
  • Lizard Skin, 1.8mm bar tape;

Surprisingly, only 500g heavier than my current ride - Schwinn Peloton Pro (2007 model that has Dura-Ace components on).
