Whenever, wherever you go, take your bike with you. That’s the philosophy behind the new Septimer Break-Away Carbon frameset. Tom Ritchey designed this bike to be the one bike you’ll ever need, to seek for new adventures in undiscovered areas. Until now.
Ritchey’s Septimer, named after the pass between Switzerland and Italy, gives you a lightweight carbon fiber frame and fork, ideal for attacking this ancient climb. Wide tyres, up till 700 x 48c, will give you sufficient comfort to go offroad. But the beauty of the concept is the easiness of assembling and disassembling the bike. It’s patented Break-Away system allows you to fit the bike in the dedicated travel case. Cable routing is external so that won’t be a problem. And the multiple mounts keep your gear within easy reach.
The bike is compatible with both double and mono cranks so up to you to select the gears for your next adventure.
