+1 on both counts. Stack/reach ratio and front rack-ability are two reasons I haven't tried a Ritchey yet.

It just needs rim brakes and fillets.

This. It's been years of me periodically checking their site to see if they finally have a stack and reach that would fit.
And based on comments in person as well as online, I'm not the only one that periodically checks.

A few more details here: https://theradavist.com/ritchey-mont...ames-and-more/

Clearance for 36s w/ fenders and 40s without, new fork design with dynamo wire routing, a little more stack and a little bit longer than Road Logic (no other details on geo in the article). For unknown reasons, priced higher than all of the other (non-breakaway) frames in their catalog.

And presumably as covered here, not big enough if you are 6’5” and not setup correctly for photos.
