New Bike Day! Ritchey Montebello Maiden Voyage Part 6

9563 Video Description Join me on the maiden voyage of my new Ritchey Montebello! In this video, I dive into the details of setting up this endurance frame, specifically how I’m transitioning from the aggressive race geometry of my Road Logic to a more sustainable, taller stack height. I’ll explain why I think the Montebello is actually a more versatile choice for most riders compared to the Road Logic Disc, thanks to its scalability and massive tire clearance (up to 40mm). I also share a quick "pro tip" for your first ride on a new build and clear up some common questions about saddle fit and spacers. What do you think? Is the Montebello the ultimate scalable steel frame? Let me know in the comments!
