It’s Friday! Before you shut down your computers for the weekend and head off to happy hour, check out some of the gear that’s recently landed at BikeRadar’s Boulder, Colorado office.
New road bike gear
Ritchey has expanded its range of Breakaway travel bikes with a new carbon fibre road version. At just shy of 1,500g for a size small frame, it’s not especially light – nor does it save any weight over the Ti/Carbon version we reviewed a few years ago. However, we do anticipate that the carbon version might be substantially stiffer, with potentially a smoother ride quality.

Either way, that extra weight isn’t for nothing. Ritchey intentionally overbuilt the tubes to withstand the rigours of air travel, and some of that additional mass is devoted to the trick coupler system that lets you pack a complete bike into a case that masquerades as standard luggage. If all goes well, we’ll have already logged a few rides on this at the Taipei Cycle Show by the time you read this.
