The concept for the Montebello was born during an extensive journey with friends, epitomizing the bike's essence: a journey meant to be shared, whether over a beer or while cruising along the road. It encapsulates a space suspended in the present moment, accessible only by bike—a space crafted by the ride itself, leading you to your preferred destination. It appeals to those who identify as resilient randonneurs, craving extended days with endless miles ahead.

Far from just another road bike, the Montebello incorporates features and design elements tailored for riders seeking adventures longer than the typical long-distance jaunt. Constructed with exclusive triple-butted Logic steel tubing, it boasts heightened stack, an elongated wheelbase, and a lower bottom bracket compared to its Road Logic counterpart. These geometric choices ensure a comfortable and steady ride, whether you're witnessing the sunset or greeting the dawn. Additionally, practical additions to the frameset include mounts for fenders and racks, fulfilling the requests of devoted Ritchey enthusiasts.

This exceptional frameset also showcases the innovative carbon Brevet Fork, meticulously crafted for this particular frame. Offering clearance for 40c tires sans fender, or 36c with one, the fork features specialized attachment points for either a porteur or lowrider rack on its legs, along with threaded drilling in the crown for mounting rack lights. A novel addition for Ritchey is the internal dynamo routing within the fork, catering to adventurers who relish nighttime excursions. And, as expected, the Brevet Fork boasts Ritchey's signature—an 1–1/8th straight steerer—for an exacting yet forgiving ride.
