Ritchey Road Logic 1997...

My first real road racer...Ritchey road logic 54cm.

This frameset had the deepest Cobalt Blue paint job I have ever seen. Nothing I have owned since then compares to how beautiful this frame was.

I had to sell two road bikes (Bianchi Trofeo, Giant CFR) to get this frameset and some Campy Athena components, which was like $650 or so after the pro-deal.

I loved this frame so much, but i had to sell it when the graduate program I was enrolled in at UVa did not pay me when they said they would....

You are filled with regret and longing, no?
As Citizen Kane so cryptically said, "Rosebud..."

There are only a couple of things I really regret selling.

This is one of those things.

I can't describe to you how awesome this bike was, as well as how much I learned while riding on this thing.

I rode my first century on this bike as well as riding in my first collegiate race.

I think that the question that we are all itching to ask is: How much did you sell the bike for?

I sold the frame/fork/Headset for about $600. Since I am a peasant and only buy things when they are Dirrrrrt cheap, or on the Pro-Deal I can also get rid of them pretty quickly at that price as well.
