Sold to Ringo SP Many thanks :wink:


Having wanted one of these for many Moons, when I find one, after several rides have to resign myself that it is just too big.
This is an FRM ARC race ready, which is the same frame as a Ritchey Plexus and were made for Ritchey by FRM in Italy as Tom wanted Columbus Deddaccia for his Plexus design frames as this was superior to the Tange he had been using, so to get the tubing he had to allow FRM to be able to sell them under their own brand also
The FRM decals have been removed and Ritchey applied, (it's the same frame) paintwork is very good, barring a small top tube scrape (usual bar spin round event when previous owner had it) All 7 tubes are Deddaccia, part fillet brazed part Tig, very very light, well below 2kg, more like a Ti frame in weight, 18 inch size (tt 16 ctc) 22 actual TT horizontal. 68 BB shell, 26.8 seat tube, ride is unbelievable.
To include new Superlogic headset (other parts by negotiation)
I'm asking £350 posted UK only interest on here first then pm.

Re: Rare Ritchey frame

For cryin` out loud, when I finally decide to take action towards decluttering my apartment and just have what I actually need, a Plexus comes along.
Teeempted. :)

Damn that's lovely! Just as well it's too small for me!
This is Ritchey Logic, Dedacciai 18MCDV6 HT is it not?

That's the stuff :wink: It's the same weight bare frame, as a few Ti' frames I've run, which is pretty incredible, but has much more "zing" in the ride than Ti'. Takes about 250/300g off the Tange tubed Plexus, depending on size.

I had a Vicious made of this stuff, (Kaiser has it now) and it was something silly like 1600gm (for a 19" frame!). Soon after, I had a Vicious with all tubes 853. I still wonder why 853 became so popular when this tubing didn't...
 
Re: Rare Ritchey frame

I seem to remember, it was only made in really limited qualtities and only certain frame builders had access to it, FRM being one. I agree on the 853 though, as it's fairly heavy, even compared to Tange Concept/Superlight etc.
