Ritchey Montebello
Built with proprietary triple-butted Logic steel tubing
The idea for the Montebello was literally conceived while on a long ride with friends. Such inspiration embodies the spirit of the bike: a ride worth sharing – either over a beer or while in the saddle. It’s a place caught in the moment you can only get to by bike – designed by the ride to get you to where you love to be. It’s for those of us who consider ourselves rugged randonneurs, yearning for long days with miles stretched out before us.
Not simply another road bike, the Montebello adds features and design touches aimed at riders who desire to ride longer than long-distance rides. Built with proprietary triple-butted Logic steel tubing, the Montebello sports increased stack, a longer wheelbase, and a lower bottom bracket than its Road Logic sibling. Such geometrical choices deliver a welcoming and stable ride when you see the sun set and rise again. Other practical features of the frameset include fender and rack mounts that Ritchey fans have been asking for.
This unique frameset also includes the new carbon Brevet Fork designed specifically for this frame. With clearance for 40c tires without a fender – or 36 with a fender, this fork has special mounting options for either a porteur or lowrider rack on its legs, and threaded drilling in the crown for attaching said rack lights. New for Ritchey is the internal dynamo routing of the fork for adventurers who like to be out after dark. And, of course, the Brevet Fork sports the hallmark of Ritchey forks – an 1–1/8th straight steerer for a precise yet forgiving ride experience.

All of our bike prices include pro-assembly.
One of our highly experienced pro-bike specialist mechanics will build your bike, then test ride it in the parking lot to verify everything works flawlessly. We will then remove the rear wheel, seat post, and front stem plate for shipping. Your bike will be packed for shipment in a manner that fully eliminates any possibility of arriving to you in less than perfect condition. Once you have your new bike, simply install the front wheel, slide in the seat-post/seat, and attach the stem front plate. You will be ready to ride or race in minutes.
The selection of the correct size frame (and stem, bars, cranks, etc.) is a crucial aspect of the road-bike buying experience.
We will contact you once you have placed your order to discuss and verify the sizes of each item that you need. Once you receive your new bike, ride it for a week or two and verify that you are comfortable with your chosen stem length, bar width, and crank length. If not, you may exchange any of these items for another size, as long as they are returned in as-new condition. (As-new, meaning: unblemished in any way other than bar-tape residue, pedal installation marks on the cranks, etc.) We will then rush you the size that you desire of the item, and sell the returned item as a test-ridden item at our retail store. If desired, we will provide a full comprehensive bike fitting free with any bike purchase. We work with the sizing system from of our favorite full-custom frame builder, Moots. Just go to moots.com and print out their highly comprehensive sizing questionnaire (with very detailed, easy-to-use instructions and pictures.) You will then be contacted by one of our in-house sizing specialists. We welcome all of your questions on any and all aspects of the sizing process when you are purchasing a frame or bike from us!
