Description

BLEM FRAMESET SALE

Possibly the most iconic frame associated with Ritchey, the Swiss Cross draws its name from early factory rider, cyclocross and mountain bike legend Thomas Frischknecht. Its race-ready geometry will ignite the competitive spirit, while clearance for 40mm tires will appeal to those who’s pursuits reach beyond the course tape. This is one the limited edition 50th Anniversary framesets to mark Tom’s 5 decades of frame and component manufacturing.

NOTES: Customer built the frame before realizing the frame was the wrong size and returned it. No other defects are noted. Frame is being sold in "open box" condition.

Frame is sold in as-is condition. Full warranty still applies.
