After the quite active discussion on the Cinelli Super Corsa, I've decided this isn't the one for
me. I do appreciate your collective opinions...I really do.
What about the Ritchey Road Logic? I know it's not lugged; it's either TIG welded or fillet brazed
(by Tom himself, I understand, if you want to spring for the extra cost). I sure do love the blue
with white panels that appears to be a standard paint scheme. I'm inclined to think it's a decent
design, what with Tom being around the block on a road bike a few times himself. I've owned a number
of Ritchey Logic parts (pedals, bars, stems, etc.) over the years and have been very pleased with
them. They've given me good value, low weight, and what I would consider decent design. I'm aware
that they're all sourced out of Taiwan, but appear to be good quality nonetheless.
The Road Logic seems available at $900-$1000; a LBS has one for $999 in stock that's my size, though
in a God-awful yellow/white--guy says he'd order the blue/white and could have it in 7 days.
Maybe this price is now getting close enough to a custom frame price that I should consider that.
I do dearly love the Richard Sachs frames I've seen (all two of them), but am a little scared of the
$2500+ I understand they run and the 9-12 month wait-time I was told they require. I remember a
wonderful red/white Sachs I rode beside for a number of miles during a mid-80's Markleeville Death
Ride. That was a real head-turner frame.
I'm not in a terrible rush, but waiting a year for a Sachs seems a little too long.
Your thoughts?
Thanks much...
