Headset: WCS integrated drop-in 41. Front Derailleur Clamp: 28.6mm (Caution: Front derailleur clamp MAX torque of 2.5Nm) Painted-to-match Ritchey WCS Cross fork and WCS integrated headset included But with two bottle cage mounts, the Swiss Cross is perfect for long mixed rides in the off-season. Total weight right now as pictured is 19 lbs flat including Shimano XT pedals. The Swiss Cross is designed with 'cross racing in mind, after all. The Swiss Cross is offered as frameset with fork and headset only so I used a SRAM Force cross build kit, a WCS bar and stem and some other parts I had kicking around to complete the build. Geometry has been updated to reflect what 'cross riders want: race-ready handling and responsiveness that's still versatile enough to serve as a capable all-around rough road/trail bike. Tubing is an all-new triple-butted, heat treated steel designed to Tom's specifications for a classically lightweight, compliant, yet tough-as-nails frame. We started with the same forged-and-machined integrated head tube design found on the P-29er-80 grams lighter than a standard 1-1/8" head tube and just as strong-a design which also provides much-needed shouldering room at the head tube.

This ultimately resulted in another iconic Ritchey model-the Swiss Cross. Ritchey has done well to pare the frame weight down to just 1.9kg (55cm) which is remarkable for a steel crosser with disc brake mounting, although the full-carbon (including steerer) fork is very welcome, given that the frame weighs almost twice that of the lightest carbon frames available. And though they were paid to race Ritchey mountain bikes, they often wanted a Ritchey cyclocross bike to race in the winter. Many Ritchey-sponsored mountain bike champions were also cyclocross champions-Thomas Frischknecht, Henrik Djernis and Ruthie Matthes, to name a few.
