Ritchey Frameset Montebello Red

Ritchey Frameset Montebello Red

The Montebello perfectly represents how a bike’s design is a solution to something greater than achieving forward momentum. Each year Tom Ritchey averages about 15,000 miles in the saddle, which doubles as his “lab” for designing new bikes. During his rides, Tom studied the possibilities for making a more comfortable bike for longer excursions, which resulted in the Montebello, a “go anywhere” endurance road bike.

Built with proprietary triple-butted Logic steel tubing, the Montebello sports increased stack, a longer wheelbase, and a lower bottom bracket than its Road Logic sibling. Such geometrical choices deliver a welcoming and stable ride when you see the sun set and rise again. Other practical features include fender and rack mounts, which Ritchey fans have been asking for.

This unique frameset also includes the new WCS Carbon Brevet Fork designed specifically for the Montebello. With clearance for 40c tires without a fender — or 36 with a fender, this fork has special mounting options for either a porteur or lowrider rack, and threaded drilling in the crown for attaching rack lights. Ideal for long rides, internal Dynamo routing is fast becoming standard among Ritchey adventure forks. And, of course, the Brevet Fork sports the hallmark of Ritchey forks – a 1–1/8th straight steerer for a precise yet forgiving ride experience.

Features

• WCS Logic Tubing: Ritchey's proprietary and triple-butted steel tubing developed specifically for the TIG welding process to Tom's specifications.
