Behold the Pacer, now also available as a complete bike.  For years we sold it only as a frameset.  It was understated, didn't draw a lot of attention to itself, but it rode great and people who rode one loved it. 

The Pacer is not what most race-inspired roadies seem to drool over. It isn’t on the cutting edge of design, it isn't made of the latest ultra light super-expensive materials, and it isn't festooned with lots of bright colors and graphics.  Rather, it is a road bike made of our favorite material, cro-moly steel, using frame geometry that makes it fast and efficient like a road bike should be, but it is not a racing bike.  This is a frame meant for all day rides.  There are a lot of other road frames out there that are flashier, more exotic, and full of promises most riders only dream of fulfilling.  The Pacer doesn't make promises.  It's simply a great riding steel frame.

Chuan says: "This is possibly the nicest bar tape I've used. Not heavy, not the absolute lightest, but really forgiving to apply, especially if (like me) you sometimes need a couple of tries to perfectly nail the criss-cross wrap at the brake lever."

Cheesy, chromed, poorly-fitting handlebar plugs aren’t the best way to set off your road bike. Ritchey’s new Pro cork bar tape comes to the rescue! Apart from being comfy, stretchy, shock-absorbent and long enough for wide drop bars, Ritchey Pro bar tape includes colour-matched cam-type expander plugs that are tightened by a simple twist of an Allen key. The plugs securely hold your tape in place and give a nice finished look to your handlebar.
