Tom Ritchey is a legend in the industry. Designing and welding his first bike at 15yrs old. The experience and knowledge has not only helped developed a distinct style and ride quality - he is no joke, with his designs with proven results on the world cup circuit The Outback is the bike for all day cruises, some tarmac and un-ridden back country trails. What makes the Ritchey Outback unique is the impeccable ride quality than only steel can give - its responsive and snappy when out of the saddle but a ride quality that we can say is probably the best of any bike out there right now. Included with the frame is Ritchey's carbon adventure fork with rack and fender mounts that will handle 3kg of weight per side. It's old skool mixed with modern technology that creates an everlasting look that will never go out of style.
