Curtlo makes a custom version using the same breakaway Ritchey design for $1100 dollars. It is a good design but a friend of mine in Seattle who has one said it is good for a rider under 170lbs and kinda flexy for the other folks. He himself is 140lbs at 5'10"

Used to own a Ritchey Swiss Cross. Red and white with a beautiful boxcrown fork. Never should have sold that bike. Oh well.

my uncle has one and it's a great bike as far as I can tell. I know he's used it for everything, including some light touring.

not to hijack the thread, but if anyone is interested, I'm selling a brand new 54 cm frame/fork/hs/case. It is brand new, never built up or ridden. PM for details. Check out the ad in the For Sale section.

My partner has one that he built up earlier this year. He likes it a lot. However, if you are going to be traveling with it (on airplanes), the case exceeds the 62" h x w x d and the airlines may charge you $100 one way to check it as luggage.
