Anyone still have a steel bike?

How is it treating you? What's you weight and is it stiff enough?

The Ritchey colour is just classy.

Ritchey Road Logic 2.0.

F-ing hell.....that is about as good as it gets.

EDIT: What kind of clearance does that frame have with the Belgium +? 25mm a squeeze probably since they would measure 27+ on the wide rims?

Looks good, are those Veloflex 25mm clinchers?

They're Vittoria SC clinchers. 23/25, but measure 25/28 on the archetypes. Unfortunately my fork won't clear a 27, so I've gotta downsize my front tire.

Thanks all!

Size 55.

Plenty of space for tire clearance. They advertise room for 28s and I believe that to be true.

I'm on the light side, 6'1", 155lbs and don't have much of a kick. I find the bike to be plenty stiff. Especially in the front end. Using a Ritchey C260 Carbon Matrix stem and aluminum EvoCurve bars. Solid.

BB, there is a bit more flex than my Wilier. Not something I really notice unless I'm looking for it.

Thanks for the feedback! Is a blast to own a great steel bike.

@michel Weight is around 7.7kg depending on wheels. BB is PF30. On the one hand it's great, because I can use my SRM with it, on the other hand PF BBs are losing their luster with me.
