However, for those still seeking the quality ride of a Breakaway-like Titanium frame, newcomer NDVR Cycle is producing an all-Titanium adventure bike (with technology licensed from Ritchey) that features disc brakes… JOM got a brief ride on one of the early prototypes… they are looking good… we may be reviewing one in the future. Rather, they are concentrating on steel and carbon for their current designs – JOM’s Ti Breakway CX is possibly the last 54cm model to leave the factory. Unfortunately, Ritchey is no longer producing Titanium Breakways of any kind. The Titanium Breakaway was formerly the flagship model in the Ritchey range – available in road and cyclocross variants, the frame is significantly lighter than its steel brethren, handy for keeping the weight of one’s bike and overall suitcase weight down. Interested parties, please inquire! JOM’s Ti Breakway CX in “sport” mode American Classic Carbon 40 wheels, road tyres. You can read more about JOM’s steel Breakway and the process for packing, etc, in Part One and Part Two – incidentally, JOM’s steel Breakaway frameset (with new fork) is now for sale. The frame breaks in half – and fits into a regular sized suitcase, helping avoid the exorbitant fees that are typically associated with flying a full-size bike. The Breakaway bike, available in road, cyclocross, mountain bike and tandem!, are Tom Ritchey’s ingenious but simple solution to traveling with a bicycle.

Nowadays, the Ritchey name is seen adorned on framesets and a full line of components and wheelsets. Tom continued to be an innovator, producing his well known line of mountain bikes through the 1980’s along with 90’s classics such the P21. In the company of fellows like Joe Breeze, Charlie Kelly, Gary Fisher and a few others, these guys pretty much invented mountain biking. Tom Ritchey is a man who has been around cycling a long time.
