Stéphane's Ritchey Outback

Featuring a shiny parts list and some classic Ritchey styling, this Outback is fit for just about anything!

Stéphane wanted something that would be at home on fast road rides, gravel rides, the occasionnal bikepacking trip and everything in between. Gearing choice was thus one of the finer points that was discussed when planning the build. We opted for 2x10, 42/26 x 11-32, gearing for maximum range while keeping the gaps between gears relatively small.

White Industry's VBC crank and chainrings provide the ability to choose each chainring individually to fine-tune the desired ratio.

Classic Ritchey stylings include the hourglass-shaped headtube and seattube cluster. Dreamy!

Equal's made-in-Japan Growtac brakes provide powerful stoppage. Oh BTW, C&L Cycle is a Canadian distributor! Hit us up if you're interested.

Every decision was made with versatility in mind, and we think this spec truly does the frame justice!
