Ritchey Road Logic.jpgRitchey release updated Road Logic steel frameset and full build for 2018
The 2018 Road Logic frame gets a fresh Skyline Blue paint job, and Ritchey say the TIG-welded frame "gracefully delivers a breathtaking combination of classic aesthetics, modern features and top performance desired by discerning riders around the world."
18 of the best steel road bikes
Ritchey's renowned steel road frame gets a wider tyre clearance of up to 30mm to meet current demands for a more comfortable ride experience on varying surfaces. The frameset gets a new carbon fork, and the frame itself is built with Ritchey's proprietary Logic steel tubing designed by Tom Ritchey himself. The frame has short-butted sections to reduce weight, and the machine-integrated head tube uses standard drop-in bearings to reduce the weight by 80g compared to a standard head tube design.
Carbon forks and wider tyre clearance merges old-school looks with modern versatility
To answer demand from dealers for an affordable package for the Road Logic frame, Ritchey are now offering the Comp Road Logic complete bike with a mid-level spec, something Ritchey say that bike shops were building up for their customers anyway. You get a full Shimano 105 drivetrain, and the rest of the spec is mostly from Ritchey's Comp range of alloy components including their Comp Zeta wheels with 27mm tyres, Comp Curve handlebars and 4-Axis stem.
The weight has been kept impressively low, with the frame coming in at 1.77kg and the full build weighing 8.7kg. The price isn't bad either: £1,120 for the frameset and £2,099 for the complete build, and both will be available through numerous Ritchey dealers in the UK.

Thank goodness for that. I don't suppose anyone would want you to. You certainly behave like one though.

You do see some utterly ridiculous examples of car use....

Exactly. Every road death is a tragedy but this is at the "twat deserved it" end of the spectrum, looking at the state of that car.

I'm not the editor of this article, nor indeed of anything on this website. One would have thought that didn't require explaining.

I think the answer is in your question. I genuinely didn't know he was married to her. It does kinda explain it. Disappointing, nevertheless.

In a perfect world, we'd have a measure of how easily distracted someone is, as part of their driving test....

These products are nothing but ridiculously expensive and superfluous, and they bring nothing but bragging rights....

Of course they are, and not so different. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09B662CDN?crid=34M42BETAMFT0&th=1 The bugger's got four versions up now!

At least the van driver was nowhere near the stationary cyclist.

To be honest, this was the finest road bike I owned in decades. Stupidly, I sold it to get a commuter/gravel-thing. Still regret that I have sold it. But it still exists, so there is hope
Love, love, LOVE my Ritehcy Road Logic. It is the normal version, and I've only had it just over a month. But it is bloody fantastic.
I also prefer the grey colour
Why why why don't manufacturers put mudguard lugs on bikes like this? We've built this super duper comfy bike that can be ridden anywhere with 30mm tyres making it ideal for commuting and through the winter but we didn't fancy making it weatherproof. Arrrgghhh!!
