Strengths:    THE RIDE BABY, THE RIDE!

Weaknesses:    None to date

Bottom Line:   
Sweetest ride this boy has ever experienced. Copped a leftover anniversary frame at Excel at a closeout price of $900 (had one tiny paint chip) and had a local bike shop build it with an Ultegra Triple (I'm allowed--I'm over 45) and Spinergy Spox wheels. The combination of these wonderful wheels with Ritchey's anniversary frame is just awesome. I never used to be able to ride road bikes comfortably for much more than an hour and a half; on this bike I can crank for 3 hours plus and still want more! May turn my 3-year old Logic into a cross bike as I find the Chicane to be noticably smoother (the wheels help I'm sure). Tracking is dialed and fast descents are a solid pleasure. This bike makes me feel ten years young again! Thank you Mr. Ritchey!
