Ritchey have unveiled a 2018 Heritage Edition of their Road Logic frameset, with a red, white and blue faded paint scheme. Just 100 of them are available and they're "destined to become a collector's item", say Ritchey.

According to their marketing manager Jeff Lockwood, Ritchey receive requests to produce framesets in these colours weekly, so now they've duly obliged: "The chorus of demand has grown to the point where we decided it was time to bring this aesthetic to our Road Logic road bike," says Lockwood.
The frameset is the exact same as Ritchey's standard Road Logic frame in the Skyline Blue colour, with heat-treated and triple-butted Ritchey Logic tubing, 68mm English threaded bottom bracket and aggressively short-butted sections for weight saving and improved ride quality. It can take up to 30c tyres, and you also get Ritchey's WCS carbon road fork as part of the frameset.

After cobbling together a few hundred quid during his student days off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story), Jack bought his first road bike at the age of 20 and has been hooked ever since. He joined road.cc in 2017, having previously worked for 220 Triathlon magazine. Jack's preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking (the latter being another long story), and on Sunday afternoons he can often be found on an M5 service station indulging in his favourite post-race meal of 20 chicken nuggets, a sausage roll, caramel shortbread and a large strawberry milkshake.
