Current Production
Ritchey still offers a full line of frames and continues to make contributions in bicycle design and engineering. One recent design is the Break-Away Bike, performance- oriented road and cyclocross bikes that separate to pack in a suitcase for travel.
Tom Ritchey has been at the forefront of cycling innovation since the very beginning. - Tom's Vector Force Analysis (VFA) tread designs revolutionized mountain bike tires. - His 3D Net Forged WCS Stems led the way to a new generation of lighter, stiffer and stronger stems. - Off Center Rim Technology (OCR) raised the bar for lightweight wheels. - In the 1980's, Tom's Logic steel tubing changed the way tubing manufacturers thought about butting profiles, ushering in a new era of lighter, more lively yet tough as nails steel bikes.
Ritchey is known for his handlebar mustache.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or production:
“This is no argument against teaching manners to the young. On the contrary, it is a fine old tradition that ought to be resurrected from its current mothballs and put to work...In fact, children are much more comfortable when they know the guide rules for handling the social amenities. It’s no more fun for a child to be introduced to a strange adult and have no idea what to say or do than it is for a grownup to go to a formal dinner and have no idea what fork to use.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
