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:
“I perceived that to express those impressions, to write that essential book, which is the only true one, a great writer does not, in the current meaning of the word, invent it, but, since it exists already in each one of us, interprets it. The duty and the task of a writer are those of an interpreter.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
