+1. Besides the price, it has many design elements I’d be looking for as standard features. Too bad you have to purchase it with their build specs

Oh ya. Hah. Got caught up in the steel part.. forgot about the disc part :) heh. Carry on.

Fellow forum member Heisenberg works for a framebuilder in Colombia and they have a road disc model:

The steel Ritcheys I've owned were miles better than the Speedvagen or IF: lighter, better quality, better design, better thought-out, better ride feel. Oh and about 1/4 the price.

The new dish Road Logic looks 👌

Ritchey Logic tubing is the real deal.

Lots of suggestions for custom builders here.... of course they can do those. I'm guessing there's no other off the shelf options if thats what comes back.

I think I'd go with Zanc or Zukas if I were going to go that route but looking to add another bike without busting the budget or selling something.

Hi RJ just an update I’m having a great summer turning to fall on your SOMA TripleX setup I purchased from you.... a LOT of fun exploring back roads...

I wonder if it’ll fit Conti GP4000/5000 700x28. Which measure out to 31mm. That would be perfect for me.

It's Close!
 

Ritchey will sell a bunch of these disc bikes. They win the value metric due to price. And after they have been out awhile next year, get one on sale or used and the value gap gets wider. If looking at a steel/disc bike, this would be my first stop.

Bikerumor puts the max tire width at 30mm.

"The new Logic comes in six frame sizes, with the same quick-handling & proven geometry the Logic road is known for. And now thanks to disc brakes, the bike has room for up to 700x30mm tires (real width)."

Awesome - I am kicking myself at times for selling that one, but easy come, easy go!

I think the Ritchey Road Logic is the right call for me, and maybe I'll flip that into a custom frame down the road (I've been saying that for 5 years so who knows). I dropped by my shop today and they can order them through Q.

Great bikes and maybe you know this but those are slated for delivery some time next year.

It looks like they have 27mm Tom Slicks on it. I'd be very interested to see the clearance. 32mm tires are about my favorite all-around, so a road bike with that sort of clearance would be 🌈🦄👍

Adding a niche bike: KHS has a few steel bikes, e.g. their Flite 747. The catch on this model is that it appears to only be available in very large sizes (64cm and 66cm).
