Is the Ritchey Road Logic Geometry really weird? ​⁠@ritcheydesign

Nice comparison George well explained👍🚴🏻😊 Pete

Im on a 51 road logic but looking to get a 53, taller stack with only a 5mm increase in reach. According to ritcheys size guide its what i should be on......chart wasn't available when i purchased. So essentially i came to my own natural conclusions based on riding the bike which matched the chart. 😂. Im 169cm for reference.
Love your work george

Or ill get a small montebello which is same geo as a 54 domane

Geometry is absolutely spot on for me

great vid as always George,I take your points re the comparison,but I suspect the buyers of the respective bikes may have different expectations
I may be wrong , but I think buyers of steel road bikes are probably of an older demographic,want a less boyracer type of bike

Thanks George, I have a 53 logic and has the same wheelbase as my medium CLX colnago. I've got a a lay back seat post and slightly different cockpit setup. I find both bikes comfortable but with running 28mm tubeless(that'll wind you up) the Ritchey is definitely smoother and more versatile. I'll happily ride it on gravel and also it has enough performance and handling on the sealed road to cope any bunch ride. Thanks Bill from NZ

If I was able to fit on a Tarmac without 4 cm of spacers or a 80 mm stem, I wouldn’t think twice about getting a Ritchey. I can’t. However the new Montebello in a size small just might be the ticket.

It is kinda weird that my 55cm Road Logic is a tad longer and lower than my 56cm Dogma F10. Given how compliant / flexy it is, at least compared to the Dogma, I would think its target audience would prefer a less aggressive position. I bought it to use as a winter bike, but turns out that I really like it, and often take it out when I just want a quiet, relaxing ride.

The Road Logic in 55cm is 8mm higher in stack and only 1mm longer in reach than my Cannondale CAAD10 and basically the same angles so I'd be riding the Ritchey size 55cm if I was to get one. I've never understood why people always make those geo questions, the Road Logic is a race bike, it's not trying to be something it's not. I'm just waiting to see what the 2025 rim brake Road Logic will be before I make a decision.

Another idiotic video. It’s a race geometry. Not all Ritchey bikes are. End of story.

It should be noted that Specialized has copied Ritchey designs in the past. One could argue they owe their existence to early Ritchey mtb designs they copied and called Stumpjumper.

Would have liked to have seen the comparison of the 49cm frames included. Big difference there in stack and reach between Road Logic and Tarmac. We small people do exist you know, but hardly anyone talks about the number of manufacturers that fail to cater for people under 5'3. PS, have you noticed that Bike Insights classes the Road Logic as an "endurance road bike" (the Tarmac as a "performance road bike"), which is why they conclude it to be "very aggressive" vs the average. You might want to pull them up on that classification.

Love your videos George!
Did i catch that right….you are barely 5’9” riding the 55cm frame with a 120 stem???
I am 5’10” and have a 56cm CAAD 13 and with the stock 100 stem i feel like it is too stretched out.
I was considering a 53cm logic for next year’s bike but now you have me second guessing myself.

Had my Road Logic built up in 2016 at age 52. After a lifetime of racing and riding late 80s and early 90s bikes, it feels familiar. I like it.
