Has anyone test ridden the Ritchey Breakaway bike? If so, please share your thoughts.

I saw one at River City Cycles in Portland, Oregon, along with the travel case. The frame connectors were ingenious, but the tube diameters on the frame seemed small. The frame was nice, somewhat compact design, but not as impressive as the S&S coupled Co-motion singles I've seen. Good price considering it came with the case.
I was in a few weeks later, and it was gone.
Sorry I can't give you a ride report.

Yeah, I heard rumors that they were going to release a Ti version, but don't think that would come any time soon.
I like the S/S coupler ones. I'm looking to get a Ti bike with those, but was curious about the Ritchey's.
I just got my Breakaway Cross built up. It's a Dura Ace/XTR combo with Cane Creek wheels. It's fast, responsive, and lighter than I expected it to be. I travel fairly often, so it will go with usually. I also plan to tour with it, pulling a BOB. So far, very pleased.
