Ritchey Targets Track and Fix Gear Riders with New Limited Edition Garden City Frameset

Whether hitting the velodrome or traversing the cityscape, Ritchey is targeting track cyclists and fixed-gear riders alike with the launch of its latest Garden City frameset.

The Garden City features a triple-butted Ritchey Logic steel tubeset that’s treated to an Electrophoretic Deposition Coating that’s design to prevent corrosion, dirt and contaminants from wreaking havoc on the frame, with enough clearance to accommodate a 55t chainring and tires up to 30mm.

With only 100 numbered framesets available, the Garden City is offered in S / M / L / XL sizes, which sells for $1199.
