Ritchey

Tom Ritchey first wielded a welder at the tender age of 15 creating hand crafted road frames. In 1980 he turned his attention to building mountainbike frames, where he quickly became the number one hand builder, servicing several XC pros with championship winning steel. His steel frames were notorious for being ultra light, aggressive designs. After many years of frame building he turned his attention to component design, most famously an early innovator of the threadless headset, producing them years before other companies patented the configuration. He continues to be a leader in bicycle design and engineering and has always been focused on saving weight without compromising the strength and reliability of racing bicycles. His most recent creations are focused around the Break-Away Bike, integrating the legendary handling of a hand-built Ritchey, with a collapsible bike. A revolutionary coupling system allows you to split the bike in two and pack in to a hard suitcase for travelling. Ritchey has a reputation as one of the most prolific component manufacturers in the industry, and this is thanks to Tom’s knack for developing and refining manufacturing processes and using the best resources available. As a result many Ritchey designs and methods have become industry standards. Tom still clocks up 10,000 miles a year on his bike, generating new ideas and creations as he quenches his all consuming two wheeled passion.
