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:
“The current of our thoughts made as sudden bends as the river, which was continually opening new prospects to the east or south, but we are aware that rivers flow most rapidly and shallowest at these points.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
