Local pickup preferred, but open to shipping within the U.S.

Custom measurements – closest to a 58cm, but should work for anyone who typically rides a 57cm – 60cm.

The patented Ritchey Break-Away® design has been heralded by mainstream cycling media as one of the most innovative bikes on the market today. It’s not a travel bike. It’s a bike that travels.
By removing two bolts and disconnecting the cabling, the frame splits in half, and the bike is ready to pack down into a standard sized suitcase.
