Bike of the Week

This week’s Bike of the Week is brought to by Sven and Niels. These two have won most of the Euro-CX races so far this season. If Sven Nys isn’t crushing everyone in his wake, Niels Albert is besting the rest, and they’re doing so on the legendary Colnago Prestige.

While at least one of my feet are still firmly planted on the lawn I want all you disc-huggers to get off of, I recognize we are in the presence of a game changer.

Cannondale’s 2013 CAADX Disc Ultegra is a bad-ass looking machine that hits a unique parts for price point. At this point in the season, I’m not aware of anyone offering an Ultegra and disc equipped cross bike at the $2220 mark. Of course, that may change mid-season as we’re just getting underway, but at this point Cannondale’s on rare ground.

However, if anyone can pull it off, it’ll likely be Raleigh.

Road.cc beat me to the punch, but who cares. This bike makes me swoon for multiple reasons.

Ritchey’s offering a steel Road Logic frame for 2013. I’ve always loved the timeless aesthetic quality of Ritchey’s bikes and how they still exude #prostyle aggressiveness. Love that they’re back in the frame game again. First with the P-29, then the Swiss Cross, and now the Road Logic.

Okay, now swoon reasons. First: steel frame with straight, normal tubes. The anti-Dogma bike—’nuff said. Second: Ritchey aesthetics. Always have loved their logo wrapped at the ends with their trademark stripes. Third: the price. $1299.99USD is a steal for good steel these days.

Check out the rest of the frame details and geometry on Ritchey.
