After numerous sneak peeks this past spring and summer, today Ritchey gives you the full Montebello. The new bike has been designed for riders who desire to ride longer than long-distance rides.
Built with proprietary triple-butted Logic steel tubing, the Montebello sports increased stack, a longer wheelbase, and a lower bottom bracket than its Road Logic sibling. Such geometrical choices deliver a welcoming and stable ride when you see the sun set and rise again in a single outing. Other practical features of the frameset include the fender and rack mounts that Ritchey fans have been asking for.
This unique frameset also includes generous clearance for 700x40c tires without fenders — or 700x36c with. New for Ritchey is the WCS Carbon Brevet Fork designed specifically for this frame with mounting options for either a porteur or lowrider rack, and threaded drilling in the crown for attaching a rack and/or lights. Speaking of lights, the fork offers internal Dynamo routing in the fork for adventurers who like to be out after dark. And, of course, the Brevet Fork sports the hallmark of Ritchey forks: a 1–1/8” straight steerer for a precise yet forgiving ride experience.
